  • Abstract
    La2O2, Y2O3 and La2O3/Y2O3 stack dielectric films were deposited on silicon by electron-beam evaporation. Chemical and electrical analyses of the interfacial growths of these films with silicon after heat treatment are performed comparatively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis reveals that Y2O3 layer suppresses the formation of SiO2 at the interface. The Y2O3 layer also reduces the hysteresis in capacitance-voltage characteristics and leakage current without changing the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT).
