“…The presence of this peak around 33° suggests that some short-range ordering exists in the films, but crystallization does not occur. [6] To examine the detailed compositions of oxide dielectrics, XPS spectra were obtained from both ZrO 2 and Al 2 O 3 , shown in Figure 3. Compared to the reference spectra from the literature, both samples reveal a high O1s peak, which may be due to hydroxyl OH radical formation during the UV annealing process, as indicated by Equation ( It is, of course, essential to have a smooth surface in order to achieve reliable device performance; a rough surface will induce a high density of electrical trapping sites or defects, resulting in inferior electronic behaviour.…”
