摘要
This study explores the application of non-contact electrical characterization (using Quantox™) on high-dielectric-constant (high-k) materials by comparing the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) measured from Quantox™ with the conventional C-V EOT data. The study examines two identical batches of high-k film with various ratios of hafnium to aluminum oxide. The first batch was measured with Quantox™, and the second batch was deposited with TaN/Al electrodes to form capacitors. The EOT measured by Quantox™ correlated linearly with the conventional C-V but is thicker. The TEM analysis on the film thickness also revealed similar trend. These results possibly indicate that a reaction occurred between the high-k material and the TaN/Al electrode that led to a 'reduction' in the electrical and physical thickness of the high-k materials in the capacitor samples.
