High-Temperature Leakage Improvement in Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitors by Work-Function Tuning

Using low-cost and high work-function Ni, a low leakage current of 5times10 -6 A/cm 2 at 125 degC is obtained in a high 25-fF/mum 2 -density SrTiO 3 metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor processed at 400 degC. This is approximately two orders of magnitude better than the same device using a TaN elec...

Zusammenfassung:Using low-cost and high work-function Ni, a low leakage current of 5times10 -6 A/cm 2 at 125 degC is obtained in a high 25-fF/mum 2 -density SrTiO 3 metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor processed at 400 degC. This is approximately two orders of magnitude better than the same device using a TaN electrode, with added advantages of improved voltage and temperature coefficients of capacitance. This work-function tuning method also has merit for achieving both low thermal leakage and high overall kappa value beyond previous laminate structure
