摘要


摘要 積體電路發展迅速已成為現代新興工業的主流,為了增加元件的速度和效能以及降低生產成本,積體電路的元件積集度必須不斷地增加,使得元件的尺寸也必須不斷地縮小;為了解決因元件微縮造成的短通道效應問題,以及根據微縮法則下所要面臨的另一項因材料極限所產生的問題─量子穿隧效應,因此利用高介電係數材料取代MOS原來的二氧化矽成為不可避的趨勢。 Y2O3薄膜具有高介電係數(k=15~18)、低漏電流密度以及與矽基板介面熱穩定度高等優點,因此非常具有潛力應用在金氧半場效電晶體以及記憶體的介電層中。 本實驗主旨在利用高介電係數材料Y2O3作為矽閘極介電層,進一步對其作電性與物性方面的探討;利用射頻磁控濺鍍系統將Y2O3薄膜沉積在p-type (100)之矽基板上,以製作成MIS電容結構,並利用高低頻量測儀器進一步對元件做介電特性、漏電流密度及捕陷電荷等電性方面的分析,以期找到製程最佳化之條件。 在本實驗中,其沉積條件為濺鍍壓力5 mtorr、濺鍍功率為60W以及基板溫度為300℃時,Y2O3薄膜擁有最高之介電係數18.15,等效氧化層厚度為18.02Å,並且維持低漏電流密度7.13×10-8 A/cm2,明顯找到製程最佳化條件;而在不加溫時,元件的介面捕陷電荷、氧化層捕陷電荷及固定氧化層電荷,經由量測以及計算結果大約值都在1×1012~4×1012 eV-1cm-2範圍內;Y2O3製程最佳化條件的確定初步證實Y2O3薄膜是具有潛力之閘介電層,但仍須改善製程條件來減低捕陷電荷之數量級,以進一步掌控Y2O3薄膜的特性。

Abstract The dimension of electronic devices has shrinked continuously. In order to solve the problems of short channel effect (SCE) and quantum tunneling effect from the scaling rule, using a new material with a dielectric constant ε greater than that of SiO2 (~3.9) to replace SiO2 film as gate dielectrics is an indispensable task. Y2O3 film has a lot of advantages, such as high dielectric constant (k=15~18), low leakage current density and larger heat of formation energy than that of SiO2. In thesis, I study the growth and characterization of Y2O3 films as gate dielectrics for Si prepared by RF magnetron sputter system. The optimized deposition conditions are: sputter pressure of 5 mtorr, sputter power of 60W and substrate temperature of 300℃. The highest dielectric constant of Y2O3 films is 18.2 with the equivalent oxide thickness of 18Å, and the leakage current density of 7.13×10-8 A/cm2. The interface trap density (Dit), fixed oxide charge (Qf) and oxide trapped charge (Qot) were in the range of 1×1012 to 4×1012 eV-1cm-2. The preliminary results showed that the Y2O3 is a potential alternative for the Si MOSFET gate dielectrics. Yet the trapped charge density needs to be reduced and controlled to promote the quality of Y2O3.
