摘要

We investigated on the structural properties of Al 2 O 3 dielectrics grown on TiN metal substrates using an atomic layer deposition technique with tri-methyl-aluminum and either O 3 or H 2 O as the precursor and oxidant, respectively. The structural and morphological features of these films were examined by atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. We find that Al 2 O 3 dielectric films with the O 3 oxidant exhibit a rough morphology, a thick TiO 2 film, and a small amount of contaminants such as carbon and hydrogen. The reason for the rapid diffusion of oxygen atoms into the TiN lattice leads to the formation of TiO 2 layer on the TiN substrate. This is due to the higher oxidation potential of the O 3 compared to the H 2 O.
