Structural and electrical properties of HfO2 gate-dielectric metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors deposited by sputtering are investigated. The HfO2 high-k thin films have been deposited on p-type < 100 > silicon wafer using RF-Magnetron sputtering technique. The Ellipsometric, FTIR and AFM characterizations have been done. The thickness of the as deposited film is measured to be 35.38 nm. Post deposition annealing in N-2 ambient is carried out at 350, 550, 750 degrees C. The chemical bonding and surface morphology of the film is verified using FTIR and AFM respectively. The structural characterization confirmed that the thin film was free of physical defects and root mean square surface roughness decreased as the annealing temperature increased. The smooth surface HfO2 thin films were used for Al/HfO2/p-Si MOS structures fabrication. The fabricated Al/HfO2/p-Si structure had been used for extracting electrical properties such as dielectric constant, EOT, interface trap density and leakage current density through capacitance voltage and current voltage measurements. The interface state density extracted from the G V measurement using Hill Coleman method. Sample annealed at 750 degrees C showed the lowest interface trap density (3.48 x 10(11) eV(-1) cm(-2)), effective oxide charge (1.33 x 10(12) cm(-2)) and low leakage current density (3.39 x 10(-9) A cm(-2)) at 1.5 V.
