Nanoscale characterization and analysis of localized degradation and breakdown of high-k dielectric stacks
Degradation and breakdown of high-κ (HK) dielectrics in advanced complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology node is one of the major challenges, due to its polycrystalline microstructure upon post-deposition annealing. Grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline HK dielectrics with a hi...
