Abstract

The effect of nitrogen implantation on thin lanthanum oxide (La 2O3) films grown by e-beam evaporation are investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. The amount of nitrogen incorporation in the oxide film by Plasma Immersion Ion-Implantation (PII) is found to be quite low (about 3% near the surface). However, the introduction of nitrogen atoms into the La2O3 network results in a significant reduction in the oxide traps and leads to a notable improvement in both material and electrical properties of the dielectric. © 2007 IEEE.
