  2. Simulating electronic nanodevices A multi-scale approach from ab-initio to Monte-Carlo is needed MOS 45nm TEM image by A.M. Papon (Léti-MINATEC) Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive

  4. Construction of the metal-oxide interfacial supercell, two approaches: • stacking arbitrary crystalline surfaces together, suitable for close crystallographic arrangement Ex: cubic metal staking on cubic oxide Cubic metal crystal = + Supercell relaxation Cubic SiO2 Fmax ~ 0.05-0.1 eV/A But ! How stacking different crystalline phases like a cubic phase stacking on a monoclinic highk oxyde m-HfO2 Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive

  5. Epitaxial approach: depositing metal atoms on the oxide surface, thermal annealing T -> 0 K N atoms of metal N relaxation, N*1ps Vo= -Vz.z = Monoclinic HfO2, Surface orientation 001 z Relaxed interface structures (very small Fmax, < 0.01 eV/A), with the previous method, Fmax > 5 eV/A Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive

  6. on 2 types of m-HfO2 substrate 2 types of metal Matching surfaces: Small misfit for W bcc 110 oriented surface on m-HfO2 001 surface (3*a, 1*b) body centred cubic (bcc) W && hexagonal compact (hcp) Ti Monoclinic HfO2 c Monoclinic supercell Orthorhombic supercell vacuum vacuum b a 2 slabs of (3a,1b) m-HfO2 001 Supercell: α=90 deg, β=90, γ=90 Supercell parameters: α=90 deg, β=99.25, γ=90 Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive

  7. Deposition of W atoms on m-HfO2 inorthorhombic supercell Why ab-initio ? * Creation / rupture of bonds (ionic, covalent, hydrogen ….) => suitable for inorganic materials (but also for organic, bio….) * Parameter-free * Very powerful method to predict properties of crystalline systems Preferable positions for metal atoms (W & Ti): Hafnium sites Relaxation engine: ab-initio (DFT) molecular dynamics combined with thermal annealing, 1-2 picosec for each deposition SIESTA code, LDA, Ceperley-Alder functional, Trouiller-Martins pseudopotentials, DZP orbitals Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive

  8. Deposition of thin films of 4 metallic layers Ex: hcp 110 phase of Hafnium On m-HfO2 001, in monoclinic supercell, films of W and Ti are hexagonal compact-like, 110 oriented W Ti On m-HfO2 001, in orthorhombic supercell, films of W and Ti are hexagonal-diamond-like, 110 oriented Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive

  10. Cohesion energy of the bulk structure E_coh = E_bulk – E_isolated atom (eV/atom) Surface energy (J/m2) E_surf = ½ * (E_slab – E_bulk) with E_slab is the total energy of the slab Adhesion energy (work of separation, J/m2) E_int = E_stack – (E_metal film + E_ox film) Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive

  16. Summary • Ab-initio thermal annealing favors the apparition of meta-stable interfaces and relaxing cell dimensions favors the way back to the metal natural phase (depend on the thickness metal/oxide) • After the first atomic layer deposition => metal sites = Hafnium sites (=> ms-film in hexagonal structure, metal orientation determined by the oxide orientation) • Phase transition in metallic thin films ~ a kind of martensitic transition in FeC (fcc->bct = atomic vibrations drive the phase transition without diffusion) Presentation name - Speaker name Fabien Fontaine-Vive
