Native Point Defects in yttria as a High-Dielectric-Constant Gate Oxide Material: A First-Principles Study

Yttria (Y₂O₃) has become a promising gate oxide material to replace silicon dioxide in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices. The characterization of native point defect in Y₂O₃ is essential to understand the behavior of the material. We used the first-principles pseudopotential method to study t...
