摘要
The effect of thermal annealing on leakage current and dielectric breakdown in self assembled nanodielectric (SAND) mental-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) devices is investigated. Annealing at temperatures of >= 300 degrees C for 120 s in a reducing atmosphere significantly reduces the leakage current density at typical operating voltages (V-g = 3V) while greatly narrowing the distribution of breakdown voltages. The threshold breakdown voltage is characterized by a Weibull distribution of slope beta approximate to 4.5 prior to thermal annealing and by beta >= 12 post annealing. A comparison of the breakdown characteristics of conventional inorganic dielectrics of the breakdown characteristics of conventional inorganic dielectrics with those of SAND demonstrates that self-assembly is a viable approach to fabricating highly reliable dielectric materials for unconventional electronics.
