Abstract

The Metal-Insulator-Silicon (MIS) capacitors with $SiO_2$ and high-k dielectric were investigated. The high-k dielectrics were obtained by atomic layer deposit (ALD) system. The electrical characteristics were investigated by measuring the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The conduction mechanisms were analyzed by using the Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot and Direct Tunneling (DT) plot. As a result, the MIS capacitors with high-k dielectrics have lower leakage current densities than conventional tunnel-barrier with $SiO_2$ dielectrics.
