ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2202752 | Abstract: | The effect of nitrogen incorporation on the electronic structure and thermal stability of Hf O2 gate dielectric was investigated by using photoemission study and first-principles calculation. Hafnium oxynitride (HfON) dielectric shows higher thermal stability in comparison to pure Hf O2 on Si. Atomic N can passivate O vacancies in the dielectrics during nitridation process, but the N atoms incorporated into interstitial sites cause band gap reduction. Postnitridation annealing is required to activate interstitial N atoms to form stable N-Hf bonds, which will increase the band gap and band offset of as-nitrided dielectric film. © 2006 American Institute of Physics. | Source Title: | Applied Physics Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/96329 | ISSN: | 00036951 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.2202752 |
