Abstract

For this study, the authors fabricated non-doped 0 0 1 epitaxial ZrO₂ gate dielectrics with small density of extrinsic defects and charges in the size effect. Wide-angle X-ray reciprocal space mapping and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) analyses showed many 90° and 180° domains. The 0 0 1 planes nearly align in the out-of-plane direction for 17-nm ZrO₂ thin films. On the other hand, the nanoscale monoclinic phase precipitated coherently in a tetragonal matrix for 3-nm ZrO₂ thin films. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements suggest that the C-V curve of ZrO₂ thin film has a charge-injection type hysteresis. The width is 26 mV for the 17-nm ZrO₂ thin film and less than 2 mV for the 3-nm ZrO₂ ultra-thin film.
