Abstract
Among the high-κ gate dielectrics, ZrO2 and HfO 2 are regarded as the most promising candidates. However, these materials still have some problems such as interfacial layer and micro-crystal formations during the post deposition annealing process. These problems lead to the increase of EOT and gate leakage current. In this paper, present status of rare earth oxides as possible candidates for post HfO2 gate dielectrics is reviewed.
