Abstract

The investigation of Al ₂O ₃ incorporated HfO ₂ films grown by atomic layer deposition using various measurement tools was discussed. It was observed that the accumulation capacitance of the Al ₂O ₃ incorporated into HfO ₂ film increases as the postannealing temperature increases. It was found that the incorporation of Al ₂O ₃ into the HfO ₂ has no effect on silicate formation at the interface between the film and Si, while the ionic bonding characteristics and hybridization effects were enhanced compared to a pure HfO ₂ film. It was shown that dissociated Al ₂O ₃ on the film surface was removed by a vacuum annealing treatment.
