Description: 
We investigate transient currents in HfO 2 dielectrics, considering their dependence on electric field, temperature and gate stack composition. We show that transient currents remain an issue even at very low temperatures and irrespective of the HfO 2 /SiO 2 bilayer properties. Finally, we assess their impact on the reliability of precision circuit and memory applications
