Abstract
A methodology to analyze charge pumping (CP) data, which allows positions of probing traps in the dielectric to be identified, was applied to extract the spatial profile of traps in SiO2 HfO2 gate stacks. The results suggest that traps accessible by CP measurements in a wide frequency range, down to few kilohertz, are located within or near the interfacial SiO2 layer rather than in the bulk of the high- k film.
