Threshold voltage adjustment in threshold switching (TS) devices with HfO2/Al2O3 superlattice (by means of changing the cycle ratio of HfO2 to Al2O3 in atomic layer deposition) is investigated to implement a transparent cross-point array. TS devices with different cycle ratios (i.e., 3:1, 3:2, and 3:3) were fabricated and studied. The threshold voltage of the devices was increased from 0.9 V to 3.2 V, as the relative contents of Al2O3 layer in the superlattice were increased. At the same time, it is demonstrated that the off-resistance values of the devices were enhanced from 2.6 × 109 to 6 × 1010 Ω as the atomic layer deposition (ALD) cycle ratio of HfO2 to Al2O3 layer was adjusted from 3:1 to 3:3. However, the hold voltage and the on-current values were almost identical for the three devices. These results can be understood using the larger barrier height of Al2O3 layer than that of HfO2 layer.

The La2O3 and Al2O3/La2O3 layers were grown on 4H-SiC by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method. The electrical properties of La2O3 on 4H-SiC were examined using metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures of Pt/La2O3(18nm)/4H-SiC and Pt/Al2O3(10nm)/La2O3(5nm)/4H-SiC. For the Pt/La2O3(18nm)/4H-SiC structure, even though the leakage current density was slightly reduced after the rapid thermal annealing at 500 oC, accumulation capacitance was gradually increased with increasing bias voltage due to a high leakage current. On the other hand, since the leakage current in the accumulation regime was decreased for the Pt/Al2O3/La2O3/4H-SiC MIS structure owing to the capped Al2O3 layer, the capacitance was saturated. But the saturation capacitance was strongly dependent on frequency, indicating a leaky interfacial layer formed between the La2O3 and SiC during the fabrication process of Pt/Al2O3(10nm)/ La2O3(5nm)/ 4H-SiC structure.

We proposed a methodology for controlling the threshold voltage by adjusting the position of the Al dopant layer within an Al-doped-ZnO active channel of a thin film transistor.
