Issues with Electrical Characterization of Advanced Gate Dielectrics in Metal-oxide-semiconductor devices

Published

Author(s)

Eric M. Vogel

Abstract

Experimental measurements and simulations are used to provide an overview of key issues with the electrical characterization of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices with ultra-thin oxide and alternate gate dielectrics. Experimental issues associated with the most common electrical characterization method, capacitance-voltage (C-V) are first described. Issues associated with equivalent oxide thickness extraction and comparison, interface state measurement, and defect generation are then overviewed.
