Tantalum oxide thin films for dielectric applications by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition
Good-quality Ta sub 2 O sub 5 LPCVD films were deposited from O sub 2 and tantalum pentaethoxide onto Si. Effective dielectric constants decrease with decreasing thickness and leakage currents are independent of film thickness (10-40 nm) because of the presence of a 2-nm SiO sub 2 layer on the Si. W...

Zusammenfassung: | Good-quality Ta sub 2 O sub 5 LPCVD films were deposited from O sub 2 and tantalum pentaethoxide onto Si. Effective dielectric constants decrease with decreasing thickness and leakage currents are independent of film thickness (10-40 nm) because of the presence of a 2-nm SiO sub 2 layer on the Si. While these annealed Ta sub 2 O sub 5 films may be satisfactory for 64-Mb DRAMs, 256 Mb DRAMs are precluded by this process. |
