Abstract
High-K/Metal-Gate (HK/MG) reliability TDDB and BTI are investigated systematically for the first time through HfZrO x gate stack engineering. To meet reliability requirements, it is shown that the HK film thickness, the position and concentration of a Zr dopant, utilizing post deposition anneal (PDA), and decoupled plasma nitridation (DPN) are important factors.
