Abstract :
Low-frequency noise (LFN) of gate stacks with Tm2O3 high-k dielectric and thulium silicate (TmSiO) interfacial layer (IL) is investigated. The measured 1/f noise is compared to SiOx/HfO2 stacks with comparable IL thickness. Integration of a high-k thulium silicate IL provides a scaled EOT of 0.3nm with good mobility and interface quality, hence excellent LFN is obtained. The LFN noise for devices with TmSiO/Tm2O3 gate dielectric is reduced for nMOSFETs and comparable for pMOSFETs compared to SiOx/HfO2 devices.
