  • Abstract
    The results in this paper suggest that migration of the electrons, captured during the fast charging process, to other available traps represents the major process responsible for the intrinsic Vt instability in the high-k NMOS transistors. The extracted trap characteristics are consistent with those of the oxygen vacancies in the monoclinic hafnia
