摘要

Annealing effects on electrical characteristics and reliability of MOS device with HfO2 or Ti/HfO2 high-k dielectric are studied in this work. For the sample with Ti/HfO2 higher-k dielectric after a post-metallization annealing (PMA) at 600 degrees C, its equivalent oxide thickness value is 7.6 angstrom and the leakage density is about 4.5 x 10(-2) A/cm(2). As the PMA is above 700 degrees C, the electrical characteristics of MOS device would be severely degraded.
