    PVD-HIGH-K GATE DIELECTRICS WITH FUSI GATE AND INFLUENCE OF PDA TREATMENT ON ON-STATE DRIVE CURRENT

    The electrical characteristics of high-k transistors using HfO2 and its silicate gate dielectrics are investigated. These dielectrics are formed by an oxidation of co-sputtered Hf (and Si), followed by nitridatio...
