摘要
LaAlO3 films were deposited on p-type Si(100) by sputtering from a LaAlO3 target. C x V characteristics were determined in nonannealed and O-2-annealed capacitors having LaAlO3 films as dielectric and RuO2 as top electrode. Thermal annealing in O-2 atmosphere reduced flat band voltage to acceptable values for advanced Si-based devices. O-16-O-18 isotopic substitution was characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and nuclear resonant reaction profiling. Chemical analysis of the films was accomplished by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrical improvements observed after thermal annealing in O-2 were attributed to the incorporation of oxygen from the gas phase, possibly healing oxygen vacancies in the films and providing mobile oxygen to the interface.
