Abstract

In this work, hafnium silicate layers for gate dielectric application in MOS capacitors deposited by MOCVD using a single-source precursor on Si as well as on Ge wafers ate investigated. For Si wafers, thermally stable Hf xSiyOz layers are obtained. In contrary, on nitrided Ge wafers nearly stoichiometric HfO2 layers are formed implying a surface dependent change in deposition kinetics. A post-deposition rapid thermal annealing in oxygen atmosphere eliminates carbon contamination and strongly improves electrical properties, e.g. reduces equivalent oxide thickness and also leakage currents by several orders of magnitude. A drawback is the observed decrease of permittivity with layer thickness which is due to a change in film composition, i.e. to increasing Si content. A pre-deposition rapid thermal nitridation process performed for Ge wafers improves J-V and C-V characteristics.
