Popis: | In this study, metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors with high dielectric constant LaAlO3 film were fabricated. Furthermore, the characteristic time-to-breakdown, TBD, of the MOS capacitors was investigated. The TBD was measured and the corresponding Weibull slopes, β, of the MOS capacitors with various LaAlO3 thicknesses were calculated. In addition, a modified percolation model was proposed to consider the extrinsic factors of breakdown. These extrinsic factors were described by an equivalent reduction of the path-to-breakdown, tex, in the model. Using this model, the calculated tex of the MOS capacitor was 5.8 nm. |
