As a first step in the identification of suitable alternative gate dielectrics for metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), we have used tabulated thermodynamic data to comprehensively assess the thermodynamic stability of binary oxides and nitrides in contact with silicon at temperatures from 300 K to 1600 K. Sufficient data exist to conclude that the vast majority of binary oxides and nitrides are thermodynamically unstable in contact with silicon. The dielectrics that remain are candidate materials for alternative gate dielectrics. Of these remaining candidates, the oxides have a significantly higher dielectric constant (kappa) than the nitrides. We then extend this thermodynamic approach to multicomponent oxides comprising the candidate binary oxides, The result is a relatively small number of silicon-compatible gate dielectric materials with kappa values substantially greater than that of SiO2 and optical bandgaps greater than or equal to5 eV.
