ZrTiO4 crystallized in orthorhombic (o-) phase was stacked with an amorphous Yb2O3 interfacial layer as the gate dielectric for Si-based p-MOSFETs. With thermal annealing after gate electrode, the gate stack with equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 0.82 nm achieves high dielectric quality by showing a low interface trap density (D-it) of 2.75 x 10(11) cm(-2)eV(-1) near the midgap and low oxide traps. Crystallization of ZrTiO4 and post metal annealing are also proven to introduce very limited amount of metal induced gap states or interfacial dipole. The p-MOSFETs exhibit good subthreshold swing of 75 mV/dec which is ascribed to the low Dit value and small EOT. Owing to the Y2O3 interfacial layer and smooth interface with Si substrate that, respectively, suppress phonon and surface roughness scattering, the p-MOSFETs also display high hole mobility of 49 cm(2)/V-s at 1 MV/cm. In addition, I-on/I-off ratio larger than 10(6) is also observed. From the reliability evaluation by negative bias temperature instability test, after stressing with an electric field of -10 MV/cm at 85 degrees C for 1000 s, satisfactory threshold voltage shift of 12 mV and sub-threshold swing degradation of 3% were obtained. With these promising characteristics, the Yb2O3/o-ZrTiO4 gate stack holds the great potential for next-generation electronics. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
