he paper describes the application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) based method to quantify changes in the electric dipole formed at the metal/dielectric interface following heat treatments of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) stack in different environments. The presented results on Me (Me = Au, Ni)/dielectric (dielectric = HfO(2), LaAlO(3)) evidence the oxygen vacancies generated in dielectric contribute to the effective work function changes.

Abstract

he paper describes the application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) based method to quantify changes in the electric dipole formed at the metal/dielectric interface following heat treatments of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) stack in different environments. The presented results on Me (Me = Au, Ni)/dielectric (dielectric = HfO(2), LaAlO(3)) evidence the oxygen vacancies generated in dielectric contribute to the effective work function changes.
