Thin HfLaOx films on Si(100) have been investigated as an alternative gate insulator. The introduction of La2O3 into HfO2 causes an increase of crystallization temperature. Furthermore, unlike other Hf-based amorphous materials such as HfSiOx or HfAlOx, the permittivity of HfLaOx keeps a high value (>20). The capacitance-voltage curve of metal oxide semiconductor capacitor using the HfLaOx dielectric film has shown a negligible hysteresis and no frequency dispersion, indicating very small degradations of both interface and bulk properties. In addition, a very low fixed charge density in HfLaOx films is demonstrated from a very small film thickness dependence of the flatband voltage.
