摘要
Fabrication of ultrathin crystalline Al2O3 (equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) = 1.5-2 nm) on Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and the electrical properties of these films were discussed. In the electrical measurements, a high breakdown field (8-10 MV/cm) and extremely low leakage current density similar to 10(-8) A/cm(2) at a field of 3 MV/cm were obtained. The dielectric constant of these films was calculated from high-frequency C-V measurement and its value was obtained to be 7.5. The interface state density (D-it) at the crystalline Al2O3/Si interface was calculated from quasi-static capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement and its value was obtained to be 1-3 x 10(11) eV(-1) (.)cm(-2).
