Abstract
The HfO2-Al2O laminate MIM capacitor exhibits superior performances to the stack and sandwich counterparts, including the smallest linear voltage coefficient of capacitance (β) and leakage current, the highest breakdown voltage, the longest time-to-breakdown as well as the most stable quadratic voltage coefficient of capacitance (α) and capacitance under CVS due to weak electron trapping. The underlying mechanism is likely attributed to the alternate insertions of Al2O3 into the bulk HfO2, thereby preventing crystallization of HfO2 film.
