Dielectric relaxation of high-k oxides

چکیده
Frequency dispersion of high-k dielectrics was observed and classified into two parts: extrinsic cause and intrinsic cause. Frequency dependence of dielectric constant (dielectric relaxation), that is the intrinsic frequency dispersion, could not be characterized before considering the effects of extrinsic frequency dispersion. Several mathematical models were discussed to describe the dielectric relaxation of high-k dielectrics. For the physical mechanism, dielectric relaxation was found to be related to the degree of polarization, which depended on the structure of the high-k material. It was attributed to the enhancement of the correlations among polar nanodomain. The effect of grain size for the high-k materials' structure mainly originated from higher surface stress in smaller grain due to its higher concentration of grain boundary.

Diffuse dielectric anomaly in perovskite-type ferroelectric oxides in the temperature range of 400–700°C
The diffuse dielectric anomaly by the dielectric relaxation found at the high-temperature region of 400–700 °C was investigated in perovskite-type ferroelectric oxides such as BaTiO3 , (Pb,La!TiO3 , and (Pb,La!~Zr,Ti!O3 ceramics. We observed that the diffuse dielectric anomaly in perovskite oxides was strongly affected by oxygen-related processing parameters. We have modified the Debye relaxati...

متن کاملHigh dielectric constant oxides
The scaling of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors has led to the silicon dioxide layer used as a gate dielectric becoming so thin (1.4 nm) that its leakage current is too large. It is necessary to replace the SiO2 with a physically thicker layer of oxides of higher dielectric constant (κ) or ‘high K’ gate oxides such as hafnium oxide and hafnium silicate. Little was know...

High permittivity (k) gate dielectric films are widely studied to substitute SiO2 as gate oxides to suppress the unacceptable gate leakage current when the traditional SiO2 gate oxide becomes ultrathin. For high-k gate oxides, several material properties are dominantly important. The first one, undoubtedly, is permittivity. It has been well studied by many groups in terms of how to obtain a hig...
