Abstract

Fluorine-terminated chemical bonds and dipole structures within an Al2 O3 layer were investigated in this study. Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) was employed to estimate the characteristics of fluorinated Al2 O3. The parameters S0 and λ0 extracted from SE were analyzed to detect the influence of F-terminated bonding. Al-O bonds were replaced by the Al-F bonds after fluorine was implanted on the silicon substrate. A physical model of dipole structures was proposed explaining the F incorporation phenomenon.
