초록

ln this work, we studied electrical characteristics and leakage current mechanism of $Ta_2O_{5}$ MOS(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) devices. $Ta_2O_{5}$ thin film (63 nm) was deposited by ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition) method at temperature of 235 $^{\circ}C$. The structures of the $Ta_2O_{5}$ thin films were examined by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction). From XRD, it is found that the structure of $Ta_2O_{5}$ is single phase and orthorhombic. From capacitance-voltage (C-V) anaysis, the dielectric constant was 19.4. The temperature dependence of current density-electric field (J-E) characteristics of $Ta_2O_{5}$ thin film was studied at temperature range of 300 - 423 K. In ohmic region (<0.5 MV/cm), the resistivity was 2.456${\times}10^{14}$ ($\omega{\cdot}cm$ at 348 K. The Schottky emission is dominant at lower temperature range from 300 to 323 K and Poole-Frenkel emission is dominant at higher temperature range from 348 to 423 K.
