In this paper, reliability of the two sandwiched MIM capacitors of Al2O3-HfO2-Al2O3 (AHA) and SiO2-HfO2-SiO2 (SHS) with hafnium-based dielectrics was analyzed using two kinds of voltage stress; DC and AC voltage stresses. Two MIM capacitors have high capacitance density (8.1 fF/μm2 and 5.2 fF/μm2) over the entire frequency range and low leakage current density of ∼1 nA/cm2 at room temperature and 1 V. The charge trapping in the dielectric shows that the relative variation of capacitance (ΔC/C0) increases and the variation of voltage linearity (α/α0) gradually decreases with stress-time under two types of voltage stress. It is also shown that DC voltage stress induced greater variation of capacitance density and voltage linearity than AC voltage stress.
