ABSTRACTAmong various possible candidates of high-k gate dielectrics, SrTiO3 plays an important role because it has high dielectric constant and it can be epitaxially grown on silicon substrate. The fabrication process and properties of SrTiO3 gate dielectrics are reported. The effect of the addition of SiO2 on the microstructure and electrical properties of SrTiO3 gate dielectric is also presented. The minimization of the effect of interfacial layer between SrTiO3 and Si is the most important issue for obtaining high quality high-k gate dielectrics. The possible methods to improve the interfacial properties and the measurement techniques to characterize the interfacial layer are discussed.

AbstractCurrent trends are in the direction of submicron MOSFETs employing gate dielectrics in the thickness range of about 30 - 100A°. The performance and reliability of submicron MOSFETs can be improved by using high dielectric constant gate dielectric material. A new concept involving 2 or more dielectric material is proposed in this paper. In- situ rapid isothermal processing is proposed for the fabrication of thin gate dielectrics.

The high dielectric constant ZrO2, as one of the most promising gate dielectric materials for next generation semiconductor device, is expected to be introduced as a new high k dielectric layer to replace the traditional SiO2 gate dielectric. The electrical properties of ZrO2 films prepared by various deposition methods and the main methods to improve their electrical properties are introduced, including doping of nonmetal elements, metal doping design of pseudo-binary alloy system, new stacking structure, coupling with organic materials and utilization of crystalline ZrO2 as well as optimization of low-temperature solution process. The applications of ZrO2 and its composite thin film materials in metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) and thin film transistors (TFTs) with low power consumption and high performance are prospected.

Down scaling of complementary metal oxide semiconductor transistors has put limitations on silicon dioxide to be used as an effective dielectric. It is necessary to replace the SiO 2 with a physically thicker layer of oxides of high dielectric constant. Thus high k dielectrics are used to suppress the existing challenges for CMOS scaling. Many new oxides are being evaluated as gate dielectrics such as Ta2O5 , HfO2 , ZrO2 , La2O3 , HfO2 , TiO2 , Al2O3 , Y2O3 etc but it was soon found that these oxides in many respects have inferior electronic properties to SiO2 . But the the choice alone of suitable metal oxide with high dielectric constant is not sufficient to overcome the scaling challenges. The various deposition techniques and the conditions under which the thin films are deposited plays important role in deciding the structural and electrical properties of the deposited films. This paper discusses in brief the various deposition conditions which are employed to improve the structural and electrical properties of the deposited films.

Solution-processed amorphous zirconium oxide (ZrO2) dielectrics were formed via a non-hydrolytic sol–gel route at low-temperature. The ZrO2 films exhibited a high dielectric constant and high mobility p-type pentacene TFTs were fabricated using them.
