摘要
Ternary oxide TixAl1-xOy thin films with a wide Ti/Al ratio have been grown by atomic layer deposition technique. As grown titanium aluminate films are shown to be a homogeneous alloy and exhibit the amorphous structure in the whole compositional range, while rapid thermal processing (RTP) induces the crystallization of binary and ternary phases once the composition of TixAl1-xOy film is close to the specific phase stoichiometry. The permittivity kappa varies in the range kappa = 12-30 depending on Ti/Al ratio in the film. A0.5-nm-thick SiO2 layer formed at the film/Si interface during the deposition grows up to 2 nm upon RTP and presumably affect. (C) 2011 American Vacuum Society. [DOI: 10.1116/1.3533763]
