摘要
Ultrathin hafnium oxide (HfO2) films have been deposited by rf sputtering on strained-Si0.81Ge0.19 films. The structure and chemical composition of the deposited films have been studied using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy and X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy techniques. Current conduction mechanism in HfO2 films has been studied using current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The leakage current is found to be dominated by the Schottky emission at a low electric field, whereas Poole-Frenkel emission takes over at a high electric field. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
