摘要: We show that at deposition temperature in the 750–770°C range, La2Hf2O7 (LHO) compound can be grown crystalline on Si(001). The predominant orientation is (001)LHO∕∕(001)Si and [110]LHO∕∕[110]Si results ultimately clean interfaces, indicating a strong tendency for cube-on-cube epitaxy. ordered pyrochlore random fluorite phases coexist dielectric. Acceptable gate leakage current, negligible hysteresis high dielectric permittivity κ∼23 were obtained from electrical characterization of metal–insulator–semiconductor capacitors. quality interfaces good characteristics make LHO promising high-κ candidate replacement SiO2 future aggressively scaled transistors.
