Abstract

Atomic layer deposition process was used to fabricate Hafnium dioxide gate dielectrics to investigate the flatband voltage shift relative to SiO2. It was found that the direction of the voltage shift depends on the Fermi level position in the gate material. A model was proposed to explain the effects of poly-Si gate type on the flatband voltage shift in MOSFETs.
