Abstract

HfO2-based layers prepared by RF magnetron sputtering were studied by X-ray diffraction, infrared absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The effect of the deposition parameters and post-deposition annealing treatment on the properties of the layers was investigated. The amorphous-crystalline transformation of pure HfO2 layers is observed to be stimulated by annealing treatment at 800 ° C. It was found that the incorporation of silicon in HfO2 matrix allows to prevent crystallization of the layers and to shift the crystallization temperature to values up to 900 °C.
