Abstract

The effect of La 2O 3 incorporation on the spatial trap distribution in HfO 2 gate dielectrics is investigated. The incorporation of La 2O 3 in HfO 2 dielectric has been found to improve the effective mobility in addition to reduced interface-state density. The trap distribution analysis in the HfO 2 layer extracted by combining the charge pumping (CP) method and the low-frequency noise (LFN) method has revealed significant reduction in the amount of traps at HfO 2/SiO 2-interlayer interface and in the HfO 2 layer by La 2O 3 incorporation.
