- Abstract
LaAlO films were grown on p-Si substrates by atomic layer deposition technique with different La and Al precursor pulse ratios. Then atomic concentrations and band alignments of the films were determined from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. It was found that the bandgap and valence band offset increase synchronously with increasing Al composition, while the conduction band offset varies slightly. Furthermore, as the composition of Al increased, significant decrease in the gate leakage current for the metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitors using LaAlO films as insulators was observed due to the formation of larger bandgaps and valence band offsets.
