چکیده
In this study, we demonstrate the stability of highLa2O3 metal–insulator–metal (MIM) capacitors under constant voltage stress (CVS). It was found that the variation in capacitance caused by CVS strongly depends on the injected charges regardless of stress biases. Furthermore, the quadratic voltage coefficient of capacitance ( ) decreases with a logarithmic increase in dielectric loss. Charge trapping contributes to the relative capacitance variation under CVS while the reduced carrier mobility due to the stress-induced traps is responsible for the reduction of . Additionally, high stability of 10-year lifetime is achieved for a 10-nm La2O3 MIM capacitor with an 11.4 fF/mm capacitance density. # 2010 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

Metal–insulator–metal (MIM) capacitors have been fabricated using high-κ La2O3\HfO2 dielectric stacks deposited using Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) and were subsequently studied. DPF is a unique machine used for the very first time to fabricate dielectric stacks within a MIM structure as it can be used both to deposit nano-size thin film as well as can also be used to change the properties of the po...

In this paper, we report the effects of a N2 postmetallization annealing PMA on the reliability and charge-trapping characteristics of tungsten/La2O3/silicon structures. The samples are stressed with a constant-voltage stressing CVS with substrate injection. After the stressing we found that the flatband voltage VFB of the samples positively shifts, indicating a net negative charge trapped in t...

AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs) using La2O3 as gate oxide by electron-beam evaporated have been investigated and compared with the regular HEMTs [1]. The La2O3 thin film achieved a good thermal stability after 200°C, 400°C and 600°C post-deposition annealing due to its high binding energy (835.7 eV) characteristics. Our measurements have shown ...
