Abstract

First-principles density functional calculations are performed to investigate the electronic properties of O-vacancy defects in high-k HfO2, Si/HfO2 interface, and amorphous oxide semiconductors. The role of O-vacancy in device performance is discussed by comparing the results of the GGA, hybrid density functional, and quasiparticle energy calculations.
