摘要: The thermal stability of the HfO2–Al2O3 laminate gate stack grown by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition was investigated using medium-energy ion scattering spectroscopy and high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. structure maintained up to 800 °C under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, while it drastically degraded at 850 °C, resulting in silicide formation on film surface. Dissociated oxygen Hf–Al-oxide preferentially diffuses out through desorbing Volatile SiO species Al–O components desorb sample surface, HfO2 contributes Hf
