Abstract

We have successfully developed a method based on pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to produce SiO2 nanocrystals embedded in Lu2O 3 high-k dielectric. The mean size and aerial density of the SiO 2 nanocrystals embedded in Lu2O3 are estimated to be about 7nm and 6 × 1011cm-2, respectively. This metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor can be operated under smaller operation voltages, and exhibits a large memory window with a good retention time.
