    Abstract

    Deposition of Al2O3 films by Ionized Cluster Beam Epitaxy (ICBE) at low substrate temperature is described. Details of the film deposition system and fundamental characteristics of the Al-Al2O3-Si structure and the dielectric breakdown of Al2O3 were studied. Aluminum oxide offers unique advantages over the conventional silicon dioxide gate insulator: greater resistance to ionic motion, better radiation hardness, higher possibility of obtaining low threshold voltage in MOSFETs and use as gate insulator in nonvolatile memory devices.
