摘要: In this work, ultrathin layers of GdOx, NbOx and GdNbOx, deposited with ACSD have been investigated. Because the high temperature anneals utilized in process flow electronic devices, interactions high-k materials substrate are analyzed. The GdNbOx on SiO"2 Al"2O"3 annealed an oxidizing inert atmosphere studied by XRD, GATR-FTIR ellipsometry to assess layer-substrate crystallization behavior. With temperatures up 900^oC, some minor SiO"2/Si substrates no interaction were observed. At 1000^oC, however, more intense both ambients observed (severe silicate formation, interlayer regrowth Al"2O"3). HT-XRD shows that all crystallized well below 900^oC. It is concluded could be a advantageous material, compared its monometal counterparts, based limited at oxidative ambient.
