- the mainstay for forming the gate dielectric has been silicon dioxide, SiO 2 .
- a thermally grown amorphous SiO 2 layer provides an electrically and thermodynamically stable material, where the interface of the SiO 2 layer with underlying Si provides a high quality interface as well as superior electrical isolation properties, i typical processing, use of SiO 2 on Si has provided defect charge densities on the order of 10 10 /cm 2 , midgap interface state densities of approximately 10 10 /cm 2 eV, and breakdown voltages in the range of 15 MV/cm.
- a method of forming a gate dielectric on a transistor body region includes the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of an amorphous film containing
- the ALD formation of the HfA10 3 film is performed by pulsing a hafiiium contaimng precursor into a reaction chamber containing a substrate, pulsing a first oxygen containing precursor into the reaction chamber, pulsing an aluminum containing precursor into the reaction chamber, and pulsing a second oxygen containing precursor into the reaction chamber.
- Each precursor is pulsed into the reaction chamber for a selected time period. A length of time for pulsing each precursor is selected according to the precursor used. Between each precursor pulsing, precursor excess and reaction by-products are removed from the reaction.
- the HfA10 3 film thickness is controlled by repeating for a number of cycles the pulsing of the hafnium containing precursor, the first oxygen containing precursor, the aluminum containing precursor, and the second oxygen containing precursor until the desired thickness is formed.
- a gate dielectric formed as a HfAlO 3 film has a larger dielectric constant than silicon dioxide, a relatively small leakage current, and good stability with respect to a silicon based substrate.

Both wafer and substrate include doped and undoped semiconductors, epitaxial semiconductor layers supported by a base semiconductor or insulator, as well as other semiconductor structures well known to one skilled in the art.

- horizontal as used in this application is defined as a plane parallel to the conventional plane or surface of a wafer or substrate, regardless of the orientation of the wafer or substrate.

- a gate dielectric 140 of Figure 1 when operating in a transistor, has both a physical gate dielectric thickness and an equivalent oxide thickness (t eq ).
- the equivalent oxide thickness quantifies the electrical properties, such as capacitance, of a gate dielectric 140 in terms of a representative physical thickness.
- t eq is defined as the thickness of a theoretical SiO 2 layer that would be required to have the same capacitance density as a given dielectric, ignoring leakage current and reliability considerations.
- a SiO 2 layer of thickness, t, deposited on a Si surface as a gate dielectric will also have a t e larger than its thickness, t.
- This t eq results from the capacitance in the surface channel on which the SiO 2 is deposited due to the formation of a depletion/inversion region.
- This depletion/inversion region can result in t eq being from 3 to 6 Angstroms (A) larger than the SiO 2 thickness, t.
- SiO 2 layer Additional requirements on a SiO 2 layer would depend on the gate electrode used in conjunction with the SiO 2 gate dielectric. Using a conventional polysilicon gate would result in an additional increase in t eq for the SiO 2 layer. This additional thickness could be eliminated by using a metal gate electrode, though metal gates are not currently used in complementary metal-oxide- semiconductor field effect transistor (CMOS) technology. Thus, future devices would be designed towards a physical SiO 2 gate dielectric layer of about 5 A or less. Such a small thickness requirement for a SiO 2 oxide layer creates additional problems.
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide- semiconductor field effect transistor
- Silicon dioxide is used as a gate dielectric, in part, due to its electrical isolation properties in a SiO 2 - Si based structure. This electrical isolation is due to the relatively large band gap of SiO 2 (8.9 eV) making it a good insulator from electrical conduction. Signification reductions in its band gap would eliminate it as a material for a gate dielectric. As the thickness of a SiO 2 layer decreases, the number of atomic layers, or monolayers of the material in the thickness decreases. At a certain thickness, the number of monolayers will be sufficiently small that the SiO 2 layer will not have a complete arrangement of atoms as in a larger or bulk layer.
- a thin SiO 2 layer of only one or two monolayers will not form a full band gap.
- the lack of a full band gap in a SiO 2 gate dielectric would cause an effective short between an underlying Si channel and an overlying polysilicon gate.
- This undesirable property sets a limit on the physical thickness to which a SiO 2 layer can be scaled.
- the minimum thickness due to this monolayer effect is thought to be about 7-8 A. Therefore, for future devices to have a t eq less than about 10 A, other dielectrics than SiO 2 need to be considered for use as a gate dielectric.
- materials with a dielectric constant greater than that of Si0 2 , 3.9 will have a physical thickness that can be considerably larger than a desired t eq , while providing the desired equivalent oxide thickness.
- an alternate dielectric material with a dielectric constant of 10 could have a thickness of about 25.6 A to provide a t eq of 10 A, not including any depletion/inversion layer effects.
- the reduced equivalent oxide thickness of transistors can be realized by using dielectric materials with higher dielectric constants than SiO 2 .
- the thinner equivalent oxide thickness required for lower transistor operating voltages and smaller transistor dimensions may be realized by a significant number of materials, but additional fabricating requirements makes determining a suitable replacement for SiO 2 difficult.
- the current view for the microelectronics industry is still for Si based devices. This requires that the gate dielectric employed be grown on a silicon substrate or silicon layer, which places significant restraints on the substitute dielectric material. During the formation of the dielectric on the silicon layer, there exists the possibility that a small layer of SiO 2 could be formed in addition to the desired dielectric. The result would effectively be a dielectric layer consisting of two sublayers in parallel with each other and the silicon layer on which the dielectric is formed. In such a case, the resulting capacitance would be that of two dielectrics in series.
- the t eq is again limited by a SiO 2 layer, h the event that a barrier layer is formed between the silicon layer and the desired dielectric in which the barrier layer prevents the formation of a Si0 2 layer, the t eq would be limited by the layer with the lowest dielectric constant.
- the layer interfacing with the silicon layer must provide a high quality interface to maintain a high channel carrier mobility.
- SiO 2 as a gate dielectric
- Having an amorphous structure for a gate dielectric is advantageous because grain boundaries in polycrystalline gate dielectrics provide high leakage paths. Additionally, grain size and orientation changes throughout a polycrystalline gate dielectric can cause variations in the film's dielectric constant.
- the abovementioned material properties including structure are for the materials in a bulk form.
- the materials having the advantage of a high dielectric constants relative to Si0 2 also have the disadvantage of a crystalline form, at least in a bulk configuration.
- the best candidates for replacing Si0 2 as a gate dielectric are those with high dielectric constant, which can be fabricated as a thin layer with an amorphous form.
- AlAtomic Layer-Deposited LaA10 3 Films for Gate Dielectrics attorney docket no. 1303.050US1, serial number 10/137,499, LaAlO 3 is disclosed as a replacement for SiO 2 for forming gate dielectrics and other dielectric films in electronic devices such as MOS transistors.
- This application discloses, among other things, forming layers of LaA10 3 on silicon by atomic layer deposition using a lanthanum containing source and an aluminum containing source.

- ALD atomic layer deposition
- ALE atomic layer epitaxy
- ALD was developed in the early 1970's as a modification of chemical vapor deposition (CND) and is also called “alternatively pulsed-CND.”
- CND chemical vapor deposition
- gaseous precursors are introduced one at a time to the substrate surface mounted within a reaction chamber (or reactor). This introduction of the gaseous precursors takes the form of pulses of each gaseous precursor. Between the pulses, the reaction chamber is purged with an inert gas or evacuated.
- reaction with the substrate occurs with the precursor saturatively chemisorbed at the substrate surface. Subsequent purging with an inert gas removes precursor excess from the reaction chamber.
- the second pulsing phase introduces another precursor on the substrate where the growth reaction of the desired film takes place. Subsequent to the film growth reaction, reaction byproducts and precursor excess are purged from the reaction chamber.
- precursor pulse times range from about 0.5 sec to about 2 to 3 seconds.
- ALD in ALD, the saturation of all the reaction and purging phases makes the growth self-limiting.
- This self-limiting growth results in large area uniformity and conformality, which has important applications for such cases as planar substrates, deep trenches, and in the processing of porous silicon and high surface area silica and alumina powders.
- ALD provides for controlling film thickness in a straightforward, simple manner by controlling the number of growth cycles.
- ALD was originally developed to manufacture luminescent and dielectric films needed in electroluminescent displays. Significant efforts have been made to apply ALD to the growth of doped zinc sulfide and alkaline earth metal sulfide films. Additionally, ALD has been studied for the growth of different epitaxial II-N and II- VI films, nonepitaxial crystalline or amorphous oxide and nitride films and multilayer structures of these. There also has been considerable interest towards the ALD growth of silicon and geiinanium films, but due to the difficult precursor chemistry, this has not been very successful.
- the precursors may be gaseous, liquid or solid. However, liquid or solid precursors must be volatile. The vapor pressure must be high enough for effective mass transportation. Also, solid and some liquid precursors need to be heated inside the reaction chamber and introduced through heated tubes to the substrates. The necessary vapor pressure must be reached at a temperature below the substrate temperature to avoid the condensation of the precursors on the substrate. Due to the self-limiting growth mechanisms of ALD, relatively low vapor pressure solid precursors can be used though evaporation rates may somewhat vary during the process because of changes in their surface area. There are several other requirements for precursors used in ALD.
- the precursors must be thermally stable at the substrate temperature because their decomposition would destroy the surface control and accordingly the advantages of the ALD method which relies on the reactant of the precursor at the substrate surface. Of course, a slight decomposition, if slow compared to the ALD growth, can be tolerated.
- the precursors have to chemisorb on or react with the surface, though the interaction between the precursor and the surface as well as the mechanism for the adsorption is different for different precursors.
- the molecules at the substrate surface must react aggressively with the second precursor to form the desired solid film. Additionally, precursors should not react with the film to cause etching, and precursors should not dissolve in the film. Using highly reactive precursors in ALD contrasts with the selection of precursors for conventional CND.
- the by-products in the reaction must be gaseous in order to allow their easy removal from the reaction chamber. Further, the by-products should not react or adsorb on the surface.
- a HfA10 3 film is formed on a substrate mounted in a reaction chamber by pulsing a hafhium containing precursor into the reaction chamber followed by pulsing a first oxygen containing precursor, and by pulsing an aluminum containing precursor into the reaction chamber followed by pulsing a second oxygen containing precursor into the reaction chamber. Between each pulsing, a purging gas is introduced into the reaction chamber. Pulsing a hafhium containing precursor into the reaction chamber followed by pulsing a first oxygen containing precursor with subsequent purging after each pulsing constitutes a hafhium sequence.
- pulsing an aluminum containing precursor into the reaction chamber followed by pulsing a second oxygen containing precursor into the reaction chamber with subsequent purging after each pulsing constitutes an aluminum sequence.
- the selection of the first oxygen containing precursor depends upon the hafhium containing precursor pulsed into the chamber, and likewise, the second oxygen containing precursor depends upon the aluminum precursor pulsed into the chamber.

- the precursors are selected such that performing one hafiiium sequence followed by performing an aluminum sequence completes one cycle of ALD deposition of a HfAlO 3 layer.
