Abstract
The reliability of an Al-doped HfO dielectric used in a high density 2.5D MIMCAP is investigated by constant voltage stress (CVS) and voltage ramp stress (VRS) measurements. The good agreement of the results from the two techniques allows to propose a model for lifetime prediction based on the breakdown characteristics. The extracted activation energy shows a voltage dependence associated with a change in the degradation characteristics of the high- material at high fields.
