Atomic layer deposition of amorphous hafnium-based thin films with enhance thermal stabilities

The continuous scaling of microelectronic devices requires high permittivity (high-k) dielectrics to replace SiO₂ as the gate material. HfO₂ is one of the most promising candidates but the crystallization temperature of amorphous HfO₂ is too low to withstand the fabrication process. To enhance the f...
