摘要
Tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) films and Al/Ta2O5/Si MOS capacitors were prepared at various powers by ultraviolet photo-inducing hot filament chemical vapour deposition (HFCVD). Effects of ultraviolet light powers on the structure and electrical properties of Ta2O5 thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The dielectric constant, leakage current density and breakdown electric field of the samples were studied by the capacitance voltage (C V) and current voltage (I-V) measurements of the Al/Ta2O5/Si MOS capacitors. Results show that the Ta2O5 thin films grown without inducement of UV light belong to amorphous phase, whereas the samples grown with inducement of UV-light belong to delta-Ta2O5 phase. The dielectric constant and leakage current density of the Ta2O5 thin films increase with increasing powers of the UV-lamps. Effects of UV-lamp powers on the structural and electrical properties were discussed.
