Abstract:Dielectrics play an important role in semiconductor devices when it is used as gate insulator MOS transistors or in memory applications [1]. SiO2 has been one of the most typically used dielectrics due to its good properties like electrical and thermodynamic stability. It provides a great Si-SiO2 interface used in MOS transistors, and has high quality isolation electrical characteristic. Despite its benefits, there comes a point where continuous device scaling sets a limit to what materials can be used. Theref… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
