摘要：
This letter describes a unique process for the preparation of high-quality tantalum oxynitride (TaOxNy) films via NH3 annealing of Ta2O5 followed by reoxidation in an O3 ambient for use in gate dielectric applications. Compared with tantalum oxide (Ta2O5), a significant improvement in dielectric constant was obtained by the ammonia treatment. Low-temperature reoxidation in an O3 ambient resulted in a significantly reduced leakage current. Compared with reoxidation in an O2 ambient, TaOxNy films prepared by reoxidation in an O3 ambient show less charge trapping under electrical stress.
