Since amorphous Nb2O5 films have unique properties, they are widely used as optical interference filters, O2 sensors and electrochromic material. Also, there is considerable interest in using it as a high permittivity dielectric to replace gate insulators and integrated capacitors. The high k/low k combination of Nb2O5/Al2O3 is a good candidate to implement the "VARIOT" concept in nonvolatile memory devices.
Single Nb2O5 layers and Nb2O5/Al2O3 double layers on silicon were characterised by variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry in the spectral range from 0.74 eV to 5 eV and by means of vacuum ultraviolet ellipsometry up to 9.8 eV at 67.5 angle of incidence at the synchrotron source BESSY. For the Nb2O5 layers the thickness and optical constants were determined. Furthermore, the influence of annealing on the optical properties and the band gap was investigated.
All samples were prepared by atomic layer deposition on HF cleaned silicon substrates at 300C. The precursors for Nb2O5 and Al2O3 are Nb(OEt)5 and Al(CH3)3, together with H2O, respectively. The base pressure was 2.3× 102 Pa. Post-deposition annealing was performed in N2 ambient for 30 seconds at temperatures between 500C and 800C.
