- Abstract
- Characteristics of remote plasma atomic layer-deposited HfO2 on Si, which has a very thin SiO2 interlayer with and without remote plasma nitridation, have been investigated. The thin (similar to 1.5 nm) intermediate layer containing nitrogen, which was prepared by sequential O-2 and N-2 remote plasma treatment of the Si substrate, can effectively suppress growth of the unintentional interface layer. In addition, it enhances the thermal stability and the resistance to oxygen diffusion during rapid thermal annealing. The HfO2 film containing the remote plasma nitrided SiO2 interlayer annealed at 800 degrees C showed a lower equivalent oxide thickness of similar to 1.89 nm and a lower leakage current density (3.78 X 10(-7) A cm(-2) at vertical bar V-G - V-FB vertical bar = 2 V) compared to a non-nitrided sample of the same physical thickness. Also, we compared the characteristics of HfO2 films annealed in two different ambient environments, N-2 and O-2.
