Abstract
Hot carrier reliability of n-channel MOSFETs with 11 Å EOT HfO2 gate dielectric and poly-Si gate was studied. Under peak ISUB stress conditions, n-FETs with HfO2 gate dielectric show longer lifetime when compared to SiO2 n-FETs for the same stress substrate current. At room temperature, the 0.15 μm channel length HfO2 n-FETs are projected to have 10-year lifetime at VD = 2.76 V.
