In this paper we look at the effect of Fringe-Enhanced-Barrier-lowering (FEBL) for high-K dielectric MOSFETs and the dependence of FEBL on various technological parameters (spacer dielectrics, overlap length, dielectric stack, S/D junction depth and dielectric thickness). We show that FEBL needs to be contained in order to maintain the performance advantage with scaled high-K dielectric MOSFETs. The degradation in high-K dielectric MOSFETs is also identified as due to the additional coupling between the drain-to-source that occurs through the gate insulator, when the gate dielectric constant is significantly higher than the silicon dielectric constant. The technology parameters required to minimize the coupling through the high-K dielectric are identified. It is also shown that gate dielectric stack with a low-K material as bottom layer (very thin $SiO_2$ or oxy-nitride) will be helpful in minimizing FEBL. The circuit performance issues with high-K MOS transistors are also analyzed in this paper. An optimum range of values for the dielectric constant has been identified from the delay and the energy dissipation point of view. The dependence of the optimum K for different technology generations has been discussed. Circuit models for the parasitic capacitances in high-K transistors, by incorporating the fringing effects, have been presented.

층간 절연막으로 사용 가능한 SiOC 박막에 대하여 유전상수가 낮아지는 원인을 이온에 의한 분극과 전자에 의한 분극에 대하여 측정하였다. MIS 구조를 이용하여 전형적인 C-V측적법에 의하여 유전상수를 구하였으며, 굴절률을 측정하여 전자에 의한 분극의 효과에 의한 유전상수를 측정하고 서로 비교하였다. SiOC 박막의 화학적인 특성은 FTIR 분석을 이용하였으며, FTIR 분석에서 디컨벌류션한 데이터는 탄소의 함량에 대한 변화를 구하였다. 탄소의 함량변화는 굴절률의 변화와 비슷한 경향성을 나타내었으나, 유전상수와는 반비례하였다. 전자에 의한 분극의 효과는 유전상수가 떨어지는 것에 큰 영향을 주지는 않았으며, 이온에 의한 분극의 효과가 SiOC 박막의 유전상수를 낮게 하는 효과가 더욱 크게 나타났다.

This research was a fundamental study for the low temperature sintering of PZTN by glass phase transient processing. To lower the sintering temperature, the glass phase Processing was used. Also to improve the electrical properties, the transient processing was utilized. After characterization, the various analytic techniques, such as Archimedes method for the measuring densification, x-ray diffraction patterns for the quantitative analysis of crystalline phases were utilized. Also the dielectric constant, dissipation factor, and piezoelectric coefficients were measured to evaluate the PZTN sintered at the $950^{\circ}C$ and $1050^{\circ}C$. This was confirmed that the sintering temperature of PZTN was reduced by $950^{\circ}C$ and the electrical properties were improved by the transition processing. Therefore, the glass phase transient processing can be applicable to low the sintering temperature with the dielectric and piezoelectric properties.

The bonding structure of organic materials such as fluorinated amorphous carbon films was classified into two types due to the chemical shifts. The electrical properties of fluorinated amorphous carbon films also showed very different effect of two types notwithstanding a very little difference. Fluorinated amorphous carbon films with the cross-link break-age structure existed large leakage current resulting from effect of the electron tunneling. Increasing the cation due to the electron-deficient group increased the barrier height of the films with the cross-link amorphous structure, therefore the electric characteristic of the final materials with low dielectric constant was also improved. The lowest dielectric constant is 2.3 at the sample with the cross-link amorphous structure.

Recently, thin film capacitors of high dielectric constant and low leakage current are applied to integrated devices. In this study, (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ (BST) thin films for low cost were prepared by Sol-Gel method. BST solution was spin-coated on Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrate at 4,000 rpm for 10 seconds. Coating process was repeated 3 times and then sintered at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Structural and electrical characteristics of each specimen were analyzed by TG-DTA, SEM, fractal phenomenon, voltage-current and dielectric factor. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about 2,600~2,800 ${\AA}$ at depositing 3 times. Dielectric constant of thin films was decreased in 1 kHz~1 MHz. Dielectric constant and loss to frequency were 250 and 0.02 in $(Ba_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})TiO_3$ (BST3). Leakage current of BST3 was $10^{-9}\sim10^{-11}$/ A under 3 V.

Flexible $BaTiO_3$ films as dielectric materials for high energy density capacitors were deposited on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The growth behavior, microstructure and electrical properties of the flexible $BaTiO_3$ films were dependent on the sputtering pressure during sputtering. The RMS roughness and crystallite size of the $BaTiO_3$ increased with increasing sputtering pressure. All $BaTiO_3$ films had an amorphous structure, regardless of the sputtering pressures, due to the low PET substrate temperature. The composition of films showed an atomic ratio (Ba:Ti:O) of 0.9:1.1:3. The electrical properties of the $BaTiO_3$ films were affected by the microstructure and roughness. The $BaTiO_3$ films prepared at 100 mTorr exhibited a dielectric constant of ~80 at 1 kHz and a leakage current of $10^{-8}A$ at 400 kV/cm. Also, films showed polarization of $8{\mu}C/cm^2$ at 100 kV/cm and remnant polarization ($P_r$) of $2{\mu}C/cm^2$. This suggests that sputter deposited flexible $BaTiO_3$ films are a promising dielectric that can be used in high energy density capacitors owing to their high dielectric constant, low leakage current and stable preparation by sputtering.

In this study, the dielectric ceramics with low loss were investigated for high frequency application. All sample of the $Ba_5M_4O_{15}$ (M=Ta, Nb) ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at $1325{\sim}1575^{\circ}C$. The bulk density and dielectric constant of the $Ba_5Ta_4O_{15}$ ceramics were increased continuously with increasing of sintering temperature. The quality factor was increased in the sintering temperature of $1375{\sim}1475^{\circ}C$ but decreased at the temperature above 1475$^{\circ}C$. In the case of $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics, the bulk density, dielectric constant and quality factor were increased with sintering temperature but decreased above temperature of 1400$^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCRF) of the $Ba_5Ta_4O_{15}$ and $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics, sintered at 1475$^{\circ}C$ and 1400$^{\circ}C$, were 25.15, 53105 GHz, -3.06 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ and 39.55, 28052 GHz, 5.7 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In this study, to get the larger drain current of the device under the same operation condition as the conventional gate dielectric SiNx thin film transistor devices, we introduced new gate dielectric $Ta_2O_5$ thin film which has high dielectric constant $({\sim}25)$ and good electrical reliabilities. For the application for the TFT device, we fabricated the $Ta_2O_5$ gate dielectric TFT on the low-temperature-transformed polycrystalline silicon thin film using the self-aligned implantation processing technology for source/drain and gate doping. The $Ta_2O_5$ gate dielectric TFT showed better electrical performance than SiNx gate dielectric TFT because of the higher dielectric constant.

Single phase of multicomponent oxide ZrTiO4 film could be prepared through surface sol-gel route simply by coating the mixture of 100 mM zirconium butoxide and titanium butoxide on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2Si(100)$ substrate, following pyro lysis at $450^{\circ}C$, and annealing it at 770 $^{\circ}C.$ The dielectric constant of the film was reduced as the film thickness decreased due to of the interfacial effects caused by layer/electrode and a few voids inside the multilayer. However, the dielectric property was independent of applied dc bias sweeps voltage (-2 to +2 V).The dielectric constant of bulk film, 31.9, estimated using series-connected capacitor model was independent of film thickness and frequency in the measurement range, but theoretical interfacial thickness, ti, was dependent on the frequency. It reached a saturated ti value, $6.9{\AA}$, at high frequency by extraction of some capacitance component formed at low frequency range. The dielectric constant of bulk ZrTiO4 pellet-shaped material was 33.7 and very stable with frequency promising as good applicable devices.
