Abstract :
We report for the first time that VFB roll-off behavior observed in thinner EOT region for metal/HfO2/SiO2 stacks is directly related to re-oxidation at the bottom SiO2/Si interface. Based on this understanding, we propose a possible solution for keeping high effective work-function (Phim,eff ) without VFB roll-off and demonstrate the obtained Phim,eff value of 4.9 eV mPt3Si/HfO2/SiO2 stack.
