ABSTRACT
This study points out that there is a hyperbolic relationship between the static dielectric constants (Ks) in a dielectric film stack. It is shown using experimental data that this relationship renders K values that are extracted from capacitanceâ€“voltage measurements very sensitive to the other input values such as dielectric constants and film thicknesses. Errors as large as 100% and larger can be made in K from small changes in the input parameters. Thus there is a requirement for accurate film thicknesses and a specific knowledge of the nature of interface film(s) and dielectric properties are necessary for accurate K determinations.
