In order to differentiate their effects on σVWF, a new variation plot is proposed and the dipole and trap effects can be distinguished. Here, we propose a simple experimental method to separate the effects of MG/HK and HK/IL interfacial dipoles. In pMOSFET, HK/IL dipoles dominate HK induced variation; MG/HK dipoles are dominant in nMOSFET. However, in terms of the reliability test, after PBTI stress, HK bulk traps play a major role in the variation of nMOSFET, while after NBTI, HK/IL dipoles are strengthened by hydrogen bonds and still dominant in work function variation of pMOSFET. Design guideline is provided to deal with the passivation of high-k traps by nitrogen concentration and the improvement of variability in HKMG CMOS devices.","PeriodicalId":129300,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology","volume":"12 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131726391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
