Abstract
The effects of annealing temperature on the physical and electrical properties of the HfSixOY/HfO2 thin film for high-k gates oxides in a metal-oxide-semiconductor device were investigated. The excellent electrical characteristics of the HfSixO Y/HfO2 stack layer was obtained. It was found that the electrical characteristics except J-V were degraded due to the formation of the interfacial SiOx layer. It was suggested that annealing temperature must be carefully controlled to obtain the excellent electrical properties of HfO2/HfSixOy high-k gate oxides.
