Abstract
For the first time we report on the development of a novel hafnium zirconate (HfZrOx) gate dielectric with a TaxCy metal gate. Compared to HfO2, the new HfZrOx gate dielectric showed: (1) higher transconductance, (2) less charge trapping, (3) higher drive current, (4) lower NMOS Vt, (5) reduced C-V hysteresis, (6) lower interface state density, (7) superior wafer-level thickness uniformity, and (8) longer PBTI lifetime. We attribute these improvements to a microstructure that is modified by addition of Zr to HfO2
