摘要: First principles calculations of the impact Al incorporation on effective work function a TiN/HfO2 interface are presented. The undoped has midgap function. We find that in metal and substituting for O dielectric make more n-type. More importantly, Hf oxide near interface—the energetically stable position most growth conditions—increases function, making it p-type. Furthermore, shift increases with increasing concentration at interface. calculated results consistent experimental data.
