Polycrystallization effects on the nanoscale electrical properties of high-k dielectrics

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In this study, atomic force microscopy-related techniques have been used to investigate, at the nanoscale, how the polycrystallization of an Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-based gate stack, after a thermal annealing process, affects the varia...
