In this work, on-chip M-I-M capacitors are realized using SrTiO /SrTaO dielectric stacks. The deposition of the SrTiO dielectric is done by ALD and to get a crystalline state correspondingly high k value, 550 °C annealing temperature is applied. Moreover, SrTaO is considered as a part of barrier stack due to its amorphous characteristic at 550°C annealing temperatures. In this way, it is expected to improve the electrical characteristic of the devices. A set of M-I-M stacks such as Au/SrTiO/TaN/Si, Au/SrTaO/SrTiO/TaN/Si and Au/SrTiO/SrTaO/TaN/Si have been deposited and analyzed by means of electrical and analytical characterizations. The effect of thickness of SrTaO was also evaluated. From the C-V and J-V measurements, dielectric constant, corresponding capacitance densities and leakage current performance were extracted. For the investigation of interfaces between the stacks XPS and ToF-SIMS were utilized. The results mainly demonstrate that the use of SrTaO material in the barrier stack strongly improves the leakage current density of M-I-M capacitors due to its amorphous state which serves as a strong barrier between the dielectric and the electrode of the M-I-M capacitor.
