In this work characterization Of HfO2 films in transient regime is presented. Charge trapping and detrapping, and degradation transients were investigated at long times while monitoring gate current or voltage. As for charge trapping, a logarithmic dependence on time was found. The entity of the external perturbation inducing degradation was influenced by the HfO2 thickness. The detrapping rate was systematically studied as a function of pulse features and film thickness, and was found to depend only on the HfO2 thickness, with a power law behavior as a function of time.

Abstract
In this work characterization Of HfO2 films in transient regime is presented. Charge trapping and detrapping, and degradation transients were investigated at long times while monitoring gate current or voltage. As for charge trapping, a logarithmic dependence on time was found. The entity of the external perturbation inducing degradation was influenced by the HfO2 thickness. The detrapping rate was systematically studied as a function of pulse features and film thickness, and was found to depend only on the HfO2 thickness, with a power law behavior as a function of time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
