Post deposition annealing effect on properties of Y2O3/Al2O3 stacking gate dielectric on 4H-SiC
In this paper, the effect of post deposition annealing (PDA) on the chemical, structural, and electrical properties of the high-k Y 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 stacking dielectric on p-type 4H-SiC were studied. High-k dielectric provides a physically thicker film with equivalent capacitance, therefore better ex...

In this paper, the effect of post deposition annealing (PDA) on the chemical, structural, and electrical properties of the high-k Y 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 stacking dielectric on p-type 4H-SiC were studied. High-k dielectric provides a physically thicker film with equivalent capacitance, therefore better exploits the high breakdown strength of 4H-SiC in its MOSFET devices. The Y 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 stacking films were deposited using RF magnetron sputtering, with PDA in Ar ambient at 400 °C, 600 °C, 800 °C and 1000 °C.
