摘要
Interfacial chemistry and band offsets of HfO2 films grown on Si(100) substrates are investigated using high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and are correlated with interfacial structures revealed by transmission electron microscope. Hf 4f and O 1s spectra show similar chemical shifts indicating the existence of a double layer structure consisting of a HfO2, upper layer and a SiO2-rich Hf1-xSixO2 lower layer. Two types of valence band offsets are clearly determined by a double subtraction method to be 3.0 and 3.8 eV that can be attributed to DeltaEv(1) for the upper layer HfO2/Si and DeltaEv(2) for the lower layer Hf1-xSixO2/Si, respectively.
