Study of La2O3/HfO2 Gate Dielectric for n-InAs Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Capacitor

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the composite La2O3/HfO2 high k dielectric as the gate oxide for n-InAs metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor. The La2O3 was used for its high k value and HfO2 was used as the diffusion barrier and was deposited between La2O3 and InGaAs to prevent the Inter-diffusion between InAs and La(2)OZ(3) layers after post deposition annealing (PDA). Finally, we demonstrate the La2O3/HfO2 composite oxide structure as the high K dielectric for n-InAs MOS capacitor with enhanced capacitance for the MOS capacitor.
