Abstract

See full text

The use of a monolayer or partial monolayer sequencing process, such as atomic layer deposition, to form a dielectric layer of hafnium oxide doped with dysprosium and a method of fabricating such a combination produces a reliable structure for use in a variety of electronic devices. The dielectric structure can include hafnium oxide on a substrate surface followed by dysprosium oxide, and repeating to form a thin laminate structure. A dielectric layer of dysprosium doped hafnium oxide may be used as the gate insulator of a MOSFET, as a capacitor dielectric in a DRAM, as a tunnel gate insulator in flash memories, or as a dielectric in NROM devices.
