Samples with different dielectric thicknesses and nitrogen concentrations have been taken into account in order to study the dependence of the leakage current on these two parameters. It has been shown that the incorporation of nitrogen atoms into SiO<sub>2</sub> increases the density of gap states, which leads to barrier lowering for both electrons and holes. The calculated leakage currents through different SiO<sub>2</sub> polymorphs (e.g., ÃŸ-cristobalite, Â¿-quartz, and ÃŸ-quartz) show thickness dependences, which are in very good agreement with measured values for amorphous SiO<sub>2</sub>. The dependence of the leakage current on the concentration of nitrogen atom in oxynitride gate dielectrics has also been calculated and shown to be in good agreement with the values extracted from measured data.</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Keywords</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>Green´s function methods; MOSFET; density functional theory; dielectric materials; leakage currents; silicon compounds; MOSFET; SiO<sub>2</sub>; atomic scale calculation; barrier lowering; density functional theory; dielectric thicknesses; first principle calculation; gap states; leakage current; nitrogen concentrations; nonequilibrium Green´s function formalism; oxynitride gate dielectrics; polymorphs; Atomic measurements; Charge carrier processes; Current measurement; Density functional theory; Dielectric measurements; Green´s function methods; Leakage current; MOSFETs; Nitrogen; Thickness measurement; Density functional theory (DFT); MOSFETs; leakage current; nonequilibrium Green´s function (NEGF); oxynitride;</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>fLanguage</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>English</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Journal_Title</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>Electron Devices, IEEE Transactions on</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Publisher</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>ieee</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>ISSN</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>0018-9383</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Type</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'><h2 class='mb-0 fw-semibold'>jour</h2></div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>DOI</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>10.1109/TED.2009.2038646</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Filename</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>5404425</div></div> </li> <div class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Link To Document</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'><a class='text-break' href='https://search.isc.ac/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=1401448' target='_blank' rel=$ https://search.isc.ac/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=1401448
