Abstract

In order to investigate the electrical properties of Hf-silicate as a function of annealing temperature, Hf-silicate deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was studied. After Hf-silicate film deposition, annealing was proceeded at $500^{\circ}C\;and\;700^{\circ}C$. The hysteresis of C-V curves and trapping charge densities were decreased after annealing process. As annealing temperature became higher from $500^{\circ}C\;to\;700^{\circ}C$, the capacitance equivalent thickness (CET) was increased from 1.66 nm to 1.76 nm and the leakage current at -1 V was decreased from $1.70{\times}10^{-4}\;to\;5.68{\times}10^{-5}\;A/cm^2$.
