Nanocomposite ZrO2/Al2O3 (ZAO) films were deposited on Si by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition and the film characteristics including interfacial oxide formation, dielectric constant (k), and electrical breakdown strength were investigated without post-annealing process. In both the mixed and nano-laminated ZAO films, the thickness of the interfacial oxide layer (TIL) was considerably reduced compared to ZrO2 and Al2O3 films. The TIL was 0.8 nm in nano-composite films prepared at a mixing ratio (ZrO2:Al2O3) of 1:1. The breakdown strength and the leakage current level were greatly improved by adding Al2O3 as little as 7.9% compared to that of ZrO2 and were enhanced more with increasing content of Al2O3. The k of ZrO2 and mixed ZAO (Al2O3 7.9%) films were 20.0 and 16.5, respectively. These results indicate that the addition of Al2O3 to ZrO2 greatly improves the electrical properties with less cost of k compared to the addition of SiO2.

ABSTRACTAtomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is an emerging ultra-thin film deposition technique for advanced microelectronics applications. Enabling features of ALD are precise control over film thickness, excellent conformality and relative insensitivity to wafer size. Additionally, ALD allows interface and film engineering that can be utilized to maximize device performance within the minimum feature size requirements. This paper reports on the compositional, structural and electrical properties of engineered Ti-Ta-N composite films grown by ALD at 360°C. For a wide range of composition these Ti-Ta-N films exhibit resistivity from 500 to 2000 μω-cm, high density, and 100 % step coverage. Additionally, the ability to control texture by changing film composition is established. Based on experimental results, an approach to grow Composite Engineered Barriers by ALD (CEBA) is described that could provide a solution to the challenging barrier requirements.
