摘要
La-doped HfSiO samples show lower threshold voltage (V-th) and gate current (I-gate), which is attributed to dipole formation at the high-k/SiO2 interface. At low and intermediate field stress, La-doped devices exhibit better immunity to positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) due to their lower charge trapping efficiency than the control HfSiO, which mainly results from a dipole-induced greater barrier offset. However, the primary cause for defect generation at high field stress is attributed to the La atoms in the interfacial SiO2 layer. By optimizing the technique to incorporate nitrogen into the bottom interface, this high field reliability issue can be minimized while maintaining good device
