摘要
HfO2 films (2.5 to 12 nm) deposited on thermal SiO2 (1.5 nm) on Si were annealed in deuterium gas at 400-600 degrees C and incorporated D amounts were quantified using the D(He-3,p)He-4 nuclear reaction. We found similar to 10(13) D cm(-2) in the SiO2 interlayer region and up to 2.2x10(14) D cm(-2) near the HfO2 surface, whereas D amounts in the bulk of the HfO2 films were determined to be below 10(13) cm(-2). However, analyses employing the H-1(N-15,alpha gamma)C-12 nuclear resonant reaction showed much more spurious H present in the bulk of HfO2 films. Mechanisms of D incorporation and desorption as well as contribution of the present results to the understanding of HfO2-based devices are discussed. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
