Abstract

An ultrathin barrier layer of MnOx was grown using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at an interface between Cu and SiO 2 dielectric. The electronic transport properties of Cu/MnO x/SiO2/p-Si metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices showed leakage current density within the range of 10-8-10 -7A/cm2 up to an electric field of 4MV/cm. The current density remained within the same range after bias temperature aging test at 3MV/cm for 6×103s at 550K. The capacitance-voltage curves of the MOS device having the MnOx layer grown at 473K do not show significant shift of flat band voltage after thermal annealing at 673K for 3.6×103s as well as after bias temperature aging test at 1MV/cm, 550K for 2.4×103 s. These results indicate that the ultrathin layer of MnOx is stable under the above conditions and prevents sufficiently Cu ion diffusion into the SiO2 dielectric.
