Ozone (O-3) and H2O are used as the oxidant to deposit hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin films on p-type Si (100) wafers by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The physical properties and electrical characteristics of HfO2 films change greatly for different oxidants and deposition temperature. Compared with O-3 as the oxidant, HfO2 films grown with H2O as the oxidant are more consistent in composition and growth rate. The O-3-based HfO2 films have lower C impurity and higher concentration N impurity than the H2O-based HfO2 films. The impact of the annealing process on the electrical properties and stability of HfO2 films are also investigated. A width step is observed in the O-3-based HfO2 C-V curves, which disappears after annealing process. It is because the unstable Hf-O-N and Hf-N bonds in O-3-based HfO2 films are re-bonded with the non-HfO2 oxygen after annealing process, and the binding energy of N-1s shifts. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
