Title :
Electrical characteristics of epitaxial /spl gamma/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ films for quantum tunneling device
Abstract :
In this study, we report the electrical characteristics with tunneling phenomena and surface topography properties of ultrathin epitaxial gamma-Al2O3 films in 2-10nm range. Epitaxial gamma-Al2O3 films were fabricated on the n-type Si (111) substrates by mixed source MBE method, aluminum as a solid source and N2O as a gas source. Details of Al2 O3 fabrication process are described in previous report [Jung, 1999]
