Abstract

High-k Tb 2O 3 films deposited on strained-Si:C and treated with different post-rapid thermal annealing temperatures were formed as alternative gate dielectrics in metal oxide semiconductor devices. The dielectrics were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and electrical measurements. It was found that Tb 2O 3 dielectrics properly annealed at 800°C form well-crystallized Tb 2O 3 structures with few defects.
