This makes the outcome of measurements based on the Hall effect unreliable. A more general theory has been developed, that leads to the determination of the Hall voltage as a function of the position along the longitudinal direction of the device channel. Devices with several pairs of Hall probes have been designed and manufactured, and the Hall voltage along their sides has carefully been measured. The experimental results led to a thorough validation of the theory.","PeriodicalId":117719,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 35th European Solid-State Device Research Conference, 2005.

Interactions between N atoms and oxygen vacancies (Vos) in HfO/sub 2/ are investigated. Our calculations show that N atoms favorably occupy nearest neighbor oxygen sites to Vos. As a result, electron charge traps at Vos are remarkably suppressed due to the strong repulsive Coulomb interactions between electrons and negatively charged N/sup 3-/ ions. These results indicate that N incorporation improves positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) in Hf related high-k gate stacks. Moreover, our calculations have also revealed that the Vo formation energy is remarkably reduced by N incorporation.","PeriodicalId":117719,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 35th European Solid-State Device Research Conference, 2005.
