Abstract

PBTI degradation for HfO 2 and HfSiON NMOSFETs has been demonstrated. The generated oxide trap dominated the PBTI characteristics for Hf-based gate dielectrics. In addition, the reduction of ΔV TH and oxide trap generation under PBTI indicates that the HfSiON is better than HfO 2 . On the other hand, the electron trapping/de-trapping effect has been investigated. As compared to HfO 2 dielectrics, the HfSiON has shallower charge trapping level due to elimination of deep dielectric vacancies, and the temperature effects are quite different between the HfSiON and HfO 2 gate dielectrics.
