Abstract

The effects of doping several rare earth oxides on the capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics and the SiO₂ interlayer growth of ZrO₂ based gate dielectrics on (001)Si were examined. The width of the C-V hysteresis window of La₂O₃ stabilized ZrO₂ (LaSZ) gate dielectric was only 0.2V, on the other hands, that of Sc₂O₃ stabilized ZrO₂ (ScSZ) gate dielectric was 1.4V. HRTEM analysis indicated that the growth of SiO₂ interlayer of RSZ (R=Sm,Nd,La) gate dielectric was about 1nm, which was less than half of the ScSZ one. These results indicate the advantage of the ZrO₂ gate dielectric doped with rare earth oxide composed of larger ionic radius cation.
