Chemical Vapor Deposition and Characterization of Zirconia Films For High-k Dielectric Applications

Due to the aggressive dimensional scaling of metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs), direct tunneling current across the SiO2 gate dielectric layer has become a significant problem. High-k dielectric materials, such as ZrO2, HfO2, are expected to replace SiO2 as the gate dielec...
