Gd2-xLaxO3 high-k films were deposited on (100) Si substrates by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The metal-organic precursors we used were Gd and La beta-diketonates. The structure, band gap, composition and electrical properties of Gd2-xLaxO3 films have been investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns show that as-deposited thick Gd2-xLaxO3 films on Si have formed cubic phase of solid solution with (222) preferred orientation. The band gap of the Gd2-xLaxO3 films can be calculated to be 5.78 eV using a UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profile analyses reveal that there exists an interfacial layer of Gd-La-Si-O silicate and the La element is rich in interfacial layer. The equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 1.08 nm has been obtained with the flatband voltage (V-fb) of 1.0 V and leakage current density (J(A)) of 3A/cm(2) at V-g = V-fb + 1V for Gd2-xLaxO3 (x = 1.29) films of 8 nm physical thickness after 800 degrees C post-annealing.
