Effects of graphene intercalation on dielectric reliability of HfO2 and modulation of effective work function for Ni/Gr/c-HfO2 interfaces: first-principles study

Abstract We have investigated the effects of graphene intercalation on dielectric reliability of HfO2 for Ni/Gr/HfO2 interfaces, and the effects of graphene intercalation and interfacial atom vacancy on the effective work function (EWF) of Ni/Gr/HfO2 interfaces using first-principle calculation base...
