摘要
Lanthanum-containing oxide films are emerging candidates for gate-oxide films, due to expected high dielectric constants as well as promising crystal and electronic band structure. We have used tris(bistrimethylsilylamido)-lanthanum La[N(SiMe3)(2)](3) to achieve atomic layer deposition of La2O3 on a (100) Si wafer. Crystalline and electrical properties of the resulting films have been characterized. Dielectric constant values in the range of 20-23, and a dielectric breakdown field of about 4.2 MV/cm were observed. The electrical properties of our structures remain consistent even after prolonged ambient exposure. (C) 2004 The Electrochemical Society.
