摘要
This work reports on the structural and dielectric properties of high-k Ti and Er co-doped HfO2 (HfTiErOx) gate dielectrics deposited on Si(1 0 0) substrates by RF sputtering. Results indicate that the capacitance value of HfTiErOx gate dielectric at 100 degrees C substrate temperature is higher and exhibits a lower hysteresis voltage as well as interface trap density compared to HfO2, HfErOx and HfTiOx films at the same conditions in capacitance-voltage (C-V) curves. Furthermore, the structural, chemical compositions and photonics properties of these films have been explored by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Photo luminous (PL) measurements. The results are well attributed to crystalline HfTiErOx microstructure thus new chemical bonding of Hf-Ti-Er-O may exit. PL spectra of all the prepared samples exhibit peaks in range of similar to 2.82 to similar to 3.03 eV which is attributed to oxygen vacancies. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
