Abstract

We have investigated the influence of nitrogen incorporation into the HfAlOx film prepared by LL-D&A process with NH3 annealing step on structural change and electrical properties. Also, we have evaluated the effects of PDA treatment on electrical properties. Nitrogen concentration in HfAlOx(N) film was enhanced with increasing the NH3 annealing temperature. The shift of Hf 4f average binding energy towards lower side was observed in proportion to nitrogen concentration in HfAlOx(N) film. This result indicates the partial change of the local coordination from O-Hf-O to O-Hf-N. The increase of O-Hf-N component drastically degraded the gate leakage current in HfAlOx(N) film. Nitrogen atoms still maintained in HfAlOx(N) film even after PDA at 850°C in O2 ambient. PDA treatment at higher temperature after D&A(NH3) process improved the flat-band voltage shift and the electron mobility.
