Abstract

The MBE growth technique is employed to the intensively studied high κ gate dielectrics HfO 2 (κ=20) and its alloy (Hf-Al)O 2 in replacing conventional SiO 2 for nano-CMOS applications. Typical 4.9 nm thick HfO 2 films showed low leakage current density of ∼0.4 A/cm 2 at 1 V, a dielectric constant κ of 20.7 and an EOT of 0.9 nm. Minor frequency dispersion is observed at C-V curves and is removed by an improved two-frequency method. An epitaxial order of (1 0 0) cubic HfO 2 oxide is observed for the depositions on GaAs(1 0 0) at temperatures over 230 °C.
