摘要: Graphene with varying number of layers is explored as metal gate electrode in oxide semiconductor structure by inserting it between the dielectric (SiO2) and contact (TiN) results are compared TiN electrode. We demonstrate an effective work function tuning upto 0.5 eV graphene layers. Inclusion even 1-3 significantly improved reliability measured breakdown characteristics, charge to breakdown, interface state density. These improvements attributed impermeability for hence reduced metallic contamination dielectric.
