  • Abstract
    In this paper, reliability aspects of thin Zr- and Hf-silicate layers are addressed by analyzing the stress induced leakage current (SILC) and charge trapping during constant voltage stress (CVS) and constant current stress (CCS). Voltage polarity and temperature effects on the degradation of the layers are also studied. SILC is found to have a transient component and its recovery is explained by the trapping/detrapping of traps participating in Poole-Frenkel conduction
