The (NH4)2 S treatment was used for the reduction of native oxides and passivation on GaAs. Atomic layer deposited Al2O3 can further remove the residue native oxides and lower the leakage current on (NH4)2S treated GaAs from self-cleaning and high bandgap. For further stacked with high dielectric constant TiO2 also prepared by atomic layer deposition on Al2O3/(NH4)2S treated p-type GaAs MOS capacitor, the leakage currents can reach 1.9 × 10-8 and 3.1 × 10-6 A/cm2 at ± 2 MV/cm. The dielectric constant is 25.

AbstractHafnium oxide (HfO2) thin films were synthesized from tetrakis(dimethylamino) hafnium (TDMAH) and ozone (O3) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on 200 mm silicon wafers. Gradual saturation was observed for TDMAH exposure pulse. However O3 showed better saturation behavior for O3exposure. Yet, 100% step coverage was achieved for ~100nm trenches with aspect ratio of 35. Temperature dependence of the deposition rate was studied at susceptor temperature from 160°C to 420°C. The lowest deposition rate was observed at 320°C. Mercury probe measurements indicated the dielectric constant increased from 16 to 20 as susceptor temperature increased from 200°C to 320°C. Selected comparisons with tetrakis (ethylmethylamino) hafnium (TEMAH) were also made.

AbstractA previously developed metal-organic atomic layer deposition (ALD) tantalum nitride (TaNx) process was employed to investigate the growth of TaNx liners on low dielectric constant (low-k) materials for liner applications in advanced Cu/low-k interconnect metallization schemes. ALD of TaNx was performed at a substrate temperature of 250°C by alternately exposing low-k materials to tertbutylimido-tris(diethylamido)tantalum (TBTDET) and ammonia (NH3), separated by argon purge steps. The dependence of TaNx film thickness on the number of ALD cycles performed on both organosilicate and organic polymer-based low-k materials was determined and compared to baseline growth characteristics of ALD TaNx on SiO2. In order to assess the effect of the deposition of TaNx on surface roughness, atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were carried out prior to and after the deposition of TaNx on the low-k materials. The stability of the interface between TaNx and the low-k materials after thermal annealing at 350°C for 30 minutes was studied by examining interfacial roughness profiles using cross-sectional imaging in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). The wetting and adhesion properties of Cu/low-k were quantified using a solid-state wetting experimental methodology after integration of ALD TaNx liners with Cu and low-k dielectrics.

ABSTRACTMultilayer films formed from Al2O3 and TiO2 by atomic layer deposition were systematically studied. The relationship between the electrical characteristics of the films and the type of oxidizer used for the Al2O3 layers was investigated. The results indicated that oxygen defects in TiO2 layer and a highly insulating Al2O3 layer are necessary for realizing a giant dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss. A high electrical resistance of 1.7×108 Ω / diameter of 1 mm and a dielectric constant of 1140 were achieved at 100 Hz by suitable choice of oxidizer for the Al2O3 layer.
