摘要
A theoretical investigation has been made of the origin of substantial threshold voltage (V-th) shifts observed in p+poly-Si.gate Hf-based metal insulator semiconductor field effect transistors (MISFETs), by focusing on the effect of oxygen vacancy (V-O) formation in HfO2. It has been found that V-O formation and subsequent electron transfer across the interface definitely causes substantial V-th shifts, especially in p+poly-Si gate MISFETs. Moreover, the theory also systematically reproduces recent experimental reports that large flat band (V-fb) shifts are observed, even in intrinsic poly-Si gates, and that the Vfb Shifts exhibit a high dependence on HfSiOx thickness.
