i-Pr)2(tetramethylheptanedione,thd) 2 , Si(O t -Bu)2(thd) 2 and nitric oxide in a pulse-mode metallorganic chemical-vapor deposition apparatus with a liquid injection source. High resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ~XPS!, and medium energy ion scattering were employed to investigate the structure, surface roughness, chemical state, and composition of the films. The nitric oxide used as oxidizing gas, instead of O2 , not only reduced the thickness of the interfacial layer but also removed the carbon contamination effectively from the bulk of the films. The as-deposited Zr silicate films with a Si:Zr ratio of 1.3:1 were amorphous, with an amorphous interfacial layer 0.3-0.6 nm thick. After a spike anneal in oxygen and a 60 s nitrogen anneal at 850°C, these films remained amorphous throughout without phase separation, but the interfacial layer increased in thickness. No evidence of Zr-C and Zr-Si bonds were found in the films by XPS and carbon concentrations,0.1 atom %, the detection limit, were obtained. The hysteresis, fixed charge density, and leakage current determined from capacitance-voltage analysis improved significantly after postdeposition anneals at 850°C and the films exhibited promising characteristics for deep submicrometer metal-oxidesemiconductor devices.
