2 June 13 2006 MURI Review2 Limitations of ultrathin SiO 2 gate dielectric microelectronic devices: high gate leakage current, reduced current drive, and reliability concerns Leakage current unmanageable for t ox less than ~ 1.2 nm Germanium MOS devices Higher electron and hole mobility leads to higher drive current Unstable native oxide Dysprosium oxide on Ge HfO 2 (K~25) and Hf x Si y ON z (K~15) Motivation M.L.

5 June 13 2006 MURI Review5 Hysteresis ~ 800 mV for 10 nm HfO 2, ~ 150 mV for 5 nm HfO 2. No measurable change in C-V characteristics after total dose irradiation to 30 Mrad(SiO 2 ) for 10 nm HfO 2 and 10 Mrad(SiO 2 ) for 5 nm HfO 2 Equal electron and hole trapping in HfO 2 and/or large leakage currents neutralize radiation-induced oxide traps C-V Characteristics EOT= 1.9 nmEOT= 1.1 nm

11 June 13 2006 MURI Review11 Plan for future experiments Obtain new HfO 2 /Dy 2 O 3 films of various thicknesses – check hysteresis, leakage, rad response Determine the structure and composition of the Hf 0.6 Si 0.2 ON 0.2 films – irradiate under negative and zero bias to obtain additional trapping information Perform Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) tests to further investigate properties of Hf 0.6 Si 0.2 ON 0.2 films

12 June 13 2006 MURI Review12 HfO 2 /Dy 2 O 3 on Ge Gate leakage current and/or equal electron hole charge trapping cause neutralization of radiation-induced oxide trap charges High border trap densities reflect the physical nature of interface of HfO 2 /Dy 2 O 3 and Ge Future work will concentrate on films with low leakage and hysteresis Hf 0.6 Si 0.2 ON 0.2 on Si Low hysteresis Significant electron trapping due to film composition Conclusions
