Subjects: Lanthanum, Hafnium compounds, Electric properties of metals, Diffusion, Current-voltage characteristics, Secondary ion mass spectrometry, Threshold voltage
Abstract: Highlights: [•] TiN/HfSiON/SiO2/Substrate stacks were investigated with C–V measurements and SIMS. [•] No linear relationship of the threshold voltage on the La concentration at the HfSiON/SiO2 was found. [•] A linear relationship of the threshold voltage on the La sheet concentration in the HfSiON was found. [•] Crystallization of the HfSiON is proposed as explanation of the experimental findings.
