   HfO2 is considered to be used as a dielectric but if it crystallizes locally its electrical properties becomes unstable. This happens around 700-800 C, which is below where most semiconductor anneals require. Shouldn't this preclude its use?

   Thanks for the paper link, very interesting. The conducting AFM is telling, since it always detects current through the dielectric, just a matter of degree of uniformity.
