Abstract
This letter reports a metal-insulator-semiconductor structure based on Al2O3/TiO2 nanolaminates and AlTiO films evaporated on an unheated p-Si substrate. The structure exhibits a low hysteresis in the capacitance-voltage characteristics, a larger dielectric constant leading to a quantum mechanically corrected effective oxide thickness of 1.35-2.1 nm, good stability of the electrical characteristics to thermal processes, a large breakdown electric field of 7.5 MV/cm, and a leakage current density below 5×10-7 A/cm2 at an electric field of 2 MV/cm.
