摘要
Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors with HfO2/thickness-graded SiO2/Si structures were fabricated to examine what effect the electric dipoles at the direct-contact HfO2/Si interfaces have on electron channel mobility. The degradation in mobility observed for direct-contact HfO2/Si devices could not be ascribed to dipole scattering, but to remote Coulomb scattering due to oxide charges in the HfO2 layer. Our results suggest that interface dipoles are not a major concern in terms of the mobility criterion. (C) 2011 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
