ZrO2 is a potential candidate for the realization of 3D capacitors on silicon for future Systems-on-Chips. The paper reports the deposition of ZrO2 thin films by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition on planar and 3D structures. Physico-chemical as well as electrical properties of the films are investigated. It is shown that the change of phase and microstructure of the film due to annealing at 900°C under O2 impacts directly on the electrical performance of the capacitors. Capacitance densities are 2 nF/mm² for planar capacitors and reach 8 nF/mm² for capacitors with pores etched in silicon with 4:1 aspect ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
