Heteroepitaxial Growth of A1203 Thin Films on Si By Lpcvd
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Heteroepitaxial A1203 thin films were grown successfully on Si(lO0) substrates by low—pressure chemical vapor deposition (LP—CVD). The growth was performed at a pressure of 30 Torr by pyrolysis of N2 bubbled AI(CH3)3 and N20 at substrate temperatures above 1000ºC.RHEED patterns indicated that the grown films were ɤ—Al203 single crystals with an orientation relationship of ɤ—Al203(l00)//Si(l00). The ɤ—A1203 films were stable and did not show phase transition after a 1140ºC heat—treatment for 2hr. MOS capacitors with 500—Å—thick A1203 films as a gate insulator showed highfrequency capacitance—voltage (C—V) curves without hysteresis. The A1203 interface state density determined from quasi—static C—V measurements was 1.7 X 1011cm-2eV-1. It can be seen that ɤ—Al203 film is a promising new insulator for Si on Insulator (SOI) structures.
