摘要: This paper focuses on electron traps in HfO2/SiO2 stacks. Three issues are addressed: the impact of measurement techniques trapping, dependence trapping conduction mechanism, and kinetics. It will be shown that traditional 'DC Id∼Vg' technique can underestimate trap density. Trapping is sensitive to mechanism. The trap-assisted conduction, such as SILC thermally enhanced contributes little trapping. Possible explanations for this phenomenon explored. follows first order model capture cross section estimated.
