摘要
Abstract: The undoped and Yb-doped HfO2 thin films were deposited on p-type single crystal St(100) substrates using RF magnetron sputtering method. The structure and electrical properties were investigated as a function of doping concentrations. The results showed that the presence of Yb could stabilize HfO2 in cubic phase. The dielectric constant was enhanced after in- troducing Yb3+ ions into the HfO2 host. Compared with undoped HfO2 thin film, the Yb-doped l-IfO2 thin film exhibited a low leakage current. The silicate reaction between rare earth ions and SiO2 layers was used to eliminate interfacial silica and form a stable interface.
