The Effect of Different Dielectric Materials in Designing High Performance Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) Capacitors

Received Jan 24, 2017 Revised Mar 30, 2017 Accepted Apr 15, 2017 A Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) capacitor with high capacitance, high breakdown voltage, and low leakage current is aspired so that the device can be applied in many electronic applications. The most significant factors that affect the MIM capacitor’s performance is the design and the dielectric materials used. In this study, MIM ca...

Step tunneling enhanced asymmetry in asymmetric electrode metal- insulator-insulator-metal tunnel diodes

Step tunneling enhanced asymmetry in metal-insulator-insulator-metal (MIIM) diodes for rectenna applications

We combine nanolaminate bilayer insulator tunnel barriers (Al2O3/HfO2, HfO2/Al2O3, Al2O3/ZrO2) deposited via atomic layer deposition (ALD) with asymmetric work function metal electrodes to produce MIIM diodes with enhanced I-V asymmetry and non-linearity. We show that the improvements in MIIM devices are due to step tunneling rather than resonant tunneling. We also investigate conduction proces...
