Popis: Combinatorial methodology is used to rapidly screen suitable ternary [email protected] dielectrics for future complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), and dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices. Dielectric constant (@k) and leakage current (L"C) were mapped from capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements. HfO"2-TiO"2-Y"2O"3 library films, made by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), have been characterized. We found a band of compositions in the middle of the HfO"2-TiO"2-Y"2O"3 phase diagram that have dielectric constants in the range of 50-80, with reasonably low leakage currents, that are therefore promising for these applications.
