摘要：

We fabricated a high-k Er-silicate gate dielectric using interfacial reaction between Er and SiO2 films and investigated its thermal stability. The reduced capacitance with increasing annealing temperature is associated with the chemical bonding change of Er-silicate from Er-rich to Si-rich, induced by a reaction between Er-silicate and Si during thermal treatment. Further an increase in the annealing temperature (> 500 degrees C) causes the formation of Si dangling bonds, which is responsible for an increased interface trap density. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
