sim/1000/spl deg/C) poly-Si CMOS processes and devices and also demonstrate possible
solutions. Specifically, we discuss device characteristics such as gate leakage currents,
flatband voltage shifts, charge trapping, channel mobility, as well as integration and
processing aspects. Results on a variety of high-K candidates including HfO/sub 2/, Al/sub
2/O/sub 3/, HfO/sub 2//Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, ZrO/sub 2/, silicates, and AlN/sub y/(O/sub x/) …
