內容簡介For future generations of non-volatile memory applications, the replacement of the interpoly dielectric by a suitable high-k material is required. Rare-earth aluminates are potential candidates because they are predicted to combine a high dielectric permittivity with a large band gap. We demonstrate the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Gd_xAl_(2-x)O3 layers using Gd(iPrCp)3, trimethyl-aluminum (TMA), and H_2O or O_3. Process windows for both H_2O and O_3 as oxidants are explored. H_2O is shown to lead to better GdxAl_(2-x)O3 film properties than O_3, although the accessible composition range is limited because of the hygroscopic nature of Gd_2O_3.
