  • Abstract
    La-doped HfSiO samples showed lower Vth and Igate, which was attributed to the dipole formation at the high-k/SiO2 interface. With increasing SiOx content, significant mobility degradation was observed, most likely due to additional La- related charges in the interfacial layer. La-doped devices demonstrate better immunity in the PBTI test and low charge trapping efficiency compared to the control HfSiO.
