✦ Synopsis


We present ab-initio modeling results including formation, migration, and activation energies for B and O diffusion through bulk and grain boundaries in polycrystalline HfO 2 films. Modeling results clearly indicate that B and O can penetrate through a 40 A HfO 2 film via grain boundary diffusion, but not by bulk diffusion. SIMS analysis of B concentration profiles for polysilicon/HfO 2 /Si gate stacks after different anneals showed double B peaks at the interfaces and thus confirmed the modeling prediction.
