Three different metal gate electrodes were used: two mid-gap metals (TiN and tungsten) and aluminum, a metal with a work function close to the silicon electron affinity. Aluminum oxide films were grown on p-type silicon substrates by atomic layer deposition using trymethylaluminum and water as aluminum and oxygen precursors, respectively. The use of aluminum as the gate electrode prevents the formation of defects inside the oxide layers that could trap charge as has been found for W and TiN gate electrodes using C-V curves and flat band voltage transients. The use of TiN or W as gate electrodes increases the interfacial trap density. However, the leakage current, that follows a Fowler-Nordheim behavior, is low when using TiN electrodes due to a higher cathode barrier height.","PeriodicalId":421205,"journal":{"name":"2017 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129326803","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}

The ultimate goal is to extend the application area of magnetoresistive sensors beyond their current niche in automotive into more general applications. The initial set of devices tested to-date has shown a sensitivity of 0.18 mV/mA in ±100 mA range when supplied from a 4V supply, which is a close match to the theoretically calculated value of 0.23 mV/mA. The linearity and hysteresis error within the ±100 mA full scale (FS) were better than 2% FS and 0.45% FS respectively, when configured as Wheatstone bridges.","PeriodicalId":421205,"journal":{"name":"2017 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE)","volume":"603 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116364690","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}
