摘要: The interplay of interdiffusion and crystallization in HfO2/Al2O3 superlattices during spike annealing at 1050 °C was studied using x-ray reflectivity diffraction. A transition thermal stability found as a function HfO2 thickness between 2.3 3.2 nm. This is due to crossover amorphous kinetics. For thin HfO2, Al2O3 interdiffuse subsequently crystallize HfAlOx into cubic-HfO2-like phase. thicker layers individually the monoclinic As consequence, suppressed because immiscibility HfO2.
