Abstract

This paper reviews results of an investigation of electrical characteristics and selected fundamental material properties of several high-k metal oxides considered for MOS gate applications. The metal oxide films were deposited using the LSMCD (Liquid Source Misted Chemical Deposition) method in a cluster tool. The method produces high quality films as thin as 3 nm and offers the flexibility of switching between various chemistries. Among compositions studied mist-deposited oxides of Hf and Zr as well as SrTa2O6 were found to display promising characteristics for MOS gate applications with the last showing superior thermal stability with silicon.
