Abstract

We investigated the use of atomic layer deposition to fabricate metal silicate film for high-k gate dielectrics. We used a metal organic precursor and alternate exposures of Ar plasma to achieve ion-assisted mixing of metal atoms into the substrate during each ALD cycle. The concentration of metal atoms was varied by changing the length of the cycles. The electrical characteristics of the silicate film were better than those of film fabricated using O2 plasma or H2O irradiation.
