摘要
We used the Kelvin probe method to examine the dipole layers induced at the direct-contact HfO2/Si interfaces. Large negative voltage shifts of contact potential difference were observed for the HfO2/Si structures, indicating the existence of strong interface dipole layers (0.8-0.9 V). It was also found that the dipole strength decreased dramatically with ultrahigh vacuum annealing at about 600 degrees C, at which the interface Si-O bonds are likely to decompose.
