Abstract

Metal-organic chemical vapour deposition of Al₂O₃ using aluminium isopropoxide (Al(OC₃H₇)₃) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) via thermal pyrolysis was investigated with the goal of producing high quality Al₂O₃p-Si(100) interfaces. From the X-ray diffraction analysis, the film was found to be a γ-Al₂O₃ heteroepitaxial film. The stoichiometry of the grown Al₂O₃ film was similar to that of sapphire observed from Auger electron spectroscopy. Room temperature capacitance-voltage measurements clearly reveal metal-insulator-semiconductor behaviour for samples with the Al₂O₃ insulator gate, and the interface state densities at the Al₂O₃p-Si heterointerface were approximately 10¹¹ eV^-1 cm^-2, at levels centred in the silicon energy gap.
