N2 - An aggressive EOT scaling with high-k gate dielectrics has been presented by selection of a rare earth silicate (La, Ce and Pr) as an interfacial layer with La2O3 stacking. Among silicates, La2O 3/Ce-silicate nFET has performed a small EOT of 0.51 nm with a reduced gate leakage current of 102 A/cm2. SrO capping further reduces the gate leakage current also with a smaller EOT with improved subthreshold slope. A guideline for EOT scaling using RE-silicate in combination with SrO capping is proposed.
