摘要
NbTaOx mixed oxides were deposited by ALD in ASM Pulsar (R) 2000 R&D reactor using TaF5 and NbF5 as metal precursors. Two deposition processes were evaluated, one with only H2O as the oxidizer, and the other with a combination of H2O and O-3. The depositions where done at 225 degrees C on Si (200 mm, p-type (1 0 0) with native oxide), Ru(AVD), TiN(ALD) and TaN(PVD) bottom electrodes. After the dielectric depositions, N-2 PDA's were applied on the samples and finally Au dot (e-beam evaporation with shadow mask) top electrodes were deposited for electrical characterization. Best electrical results (bottom electrode injection) achieved for the different stacks with similar to 45 nm thick NbTaOx films were: Ru(AVD) k = 17, 9 x 10(-11) A/cm(2) @ 3 V, TiN(ALD) k = 39,2 x 10(-2) A/cm(2) @ 3 V, TaN(PVD) k = 44, 7 x 10(-4) A/cm(2) @ 3 V.
