Abstract

In this letter, we focus on the border-trap characterization of TaN/HfO2/Si and TaN/HfO2/strained-Si/Si0.8Ge0.2 n-channel MOSFET devices. The equivalent oxide thickness for the gate dielectrics is 2 nm. Drain-current hysteresis method is used to characterize the border traps, and it is found that border traps are higher in the case of high-κ films on strained- Si/Si0.8Ge0.2. These results are also verified by the 1/f-noise measurements. Possible reasons for the degraded interface quality of high-κ films on strained-Si are also proposed.
