Abstract

The injected charge to recovery (QR) is presented as a parameter to characterize the dielectric breakdown (BD)reversibility in MOSFETs with ultrathin high-k hafnium based gate dielectric. The procedure to recover the dielectric is explained and the dependences of QR with the current limit during BD, the polarity of the BD-recovery stresses and the number of stress cycles are analyzed.
