The capacitance and leakage current properties of multilayer LaO/AlO dielectric stacks and LaAlO dielectric film are investigated in this paper. A clear promotion of capacitance properties is observed for multilayer LaO/AlO stacks after post-deposition annealing (PDA) at 800 °C compared with PDA at 600 °C, which indicated the recombination of defects and dangling bonds performs better at the high-k/Si substrate interface for a higher annealing temperature. For LaAlO dielectric film, compared with multilayer LaO/AlO dielectric stacks, a clear promotion of trapped charges density (N ) and a degradation of interface trap density (D ) can be obtained simultaneously. In addition, a significant improvement about leakage current property is observed for LaAlO dielectric film compared with multilayer LaO/AlO stacks at the same annealing condition. We also noticed that a better breakdown behavior for multilayer LaO/AlO stack is achieved after annealing at a higher temperature for its less defects.
本文研究了多层LaO/AlO介电堆栈和LaAlO介电薄膜的电容和漏电流特性。与在600℃进行沉积后退火(PDA)相比,在800℃进行PDA后,多层LaO/AlO堆栈的电容特性得到了明显提升,这表明在较高退火温度下,高k/Si衬底界面处的缺陷和悬空键的复合效果更好。对于LaAlO介电薄膜,与多层LaO/AlO介电堆栈相比,可同时实现俘获电荷密度(N)的明显提升和界面陷阱密度(D)的降低。此外,在相同退火条件下,与多层LaO/AlO堆栈相比,LaAlO介电薄膜的漏电流特性有显著改善。我们还注意到,多层LaO/AlO堆栈在较高温度下退火后,由于缺陷较少,击穿行为更好。
