  • Abstract
    New concept of capacitor dielectric thin film was successfully demonstrated through graded HfxAlyOz dielectric thin film accompanied by post ozone annealing for the application to DRAM capacitor. MIM capacitor with graded HfxAlyOz dielectric films showed drastically reduced leakage current and highly improved breakdown voltage by 0.45-0.75V maintaining the same EOT value. In the case of graded film with Hf/Al=1.5/1, EOT showed very small value of 12.3Å and leakage current could be maintained as low as 1E-16A/cell at +1.0V.
