Abstract

Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors incorporating atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) LaO/HfZrO stacked gate dielectrics were fabricated. The experimental results reveal that the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) is 0.65 nm, and the gate leakage current density (Jg) is only 1.9 A/cm2. The main current conduction mechanisms are Schottky emission, Poole-Frankel emission, and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The barrier height (ΦB) is estimated to be about 1.07 eV at TaC and HfZrLaO interface.
