The effect of implantation and thermal annealing on the device flat-band voltage is presented. It is shown that lanthanum doping of the gate stack produces a negative shift of the flat-band voltage of -0.53 V for a lanthanum does of 5 x 10(14) cm(-2), after the device undergoes S/D anneal conditions. The results are discussed within the framework of a phenomenological dipole model and compared with other results.en670621Lanthanum implantation for threshold voltage control in metal/high-k devicesconference paper
