摘要: Tantalum doped HfO2 gate dielectric thin films were deposited on silicon substrates using RF reactive co-sputtering by varying power of Ta target from 15 W to 90 W. The morphological, compositional and electrical properties Hf1−x x O2 systematically investigated. content was found be increased up 21% for a evolution monoclinic phase seen XRD study upto 60 afterwards, the amorphous like behaviour is appeared. featureless smooth surface with decrease in granular morphology has been observed FESEM micrographs at higher powers Ta. flatband voltage shifted towards negative capacitance–voltage plot, which attributed enhancement positive oxide charge density rise power. interface minimum value 7.85 × 1011 eV−1 cm−2 film 75 shown lower leakage current. high on/off ratio current during set process based memristors suitable bipolar resistive switching memory device applications.
