摘要：

New gate dielectric substitute for high-k application requires well matched lattice parameters and an atomically defined interface with Si for optimal performance. Using molecular beam epitaxy technique, we have grown on Si(111) crystalline rare-earth oxide ultrathin films, (GdxNd1-x)(2)O-3 (GNO), a multicomponent material that is superior to either of its binary host oxides. By carefully characterizing its crystal structure, we have found that the epitaxial GNO film exhibits a single bixbyite cubic structure with ultralow lattice mismatch to Si, which is indistinguishable even by the powerful synchrotron radiation. This structural perfection could make the GNO a promising high-k material in future devices. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
