Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 工程與系統科學系 === 101 === Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors with ZrLaOx/ZrTiOx/ZrLaOx laminate as the insulator were explored in this work. Single ZrTiOx dielectric was found to have a negative quadratic voltage coefficient of capacitance (VCC-α) with a high-κ value of 22.5. By integrating this dielectric with ZrLaOx which provides a positive VCC-α and a high κ value of 25.8, the “canceling effect” of VCC-α can be achieved while a high capacitance density can be maintained. MIM capacitors with the laminate structure display desirable characteristics in terms of a capacitance density of 14.6 fF/μm2, a low VCC-α of 33 ppm/V2, negligible frequency dispersion and satisfactory leakage current of 2.5×10-7 A/cm2 at -1 V. These results show that the ZrLaOx/ZrTiOx/ZrLaOx laminate holds the great potential to be applied to next-generation high-performance MIM capacitors.
