약 1.12 ev의 밴드갭 에너지를 갖는 실리콘은 동작 온도가 250 ℃ 이하로 제한되어, 밴드갭 에너지가 큰 SiC 기판을 이용한 MIS(metal-insulator-semiconductor) 구조의 시료를 제작하여 고온에서 수소 응답 특성을 고찰하였다. 적용된 유전체 박막은 수소가스에 대해 침투성이 강하고 고온에서 안정성을 보이는 탄탈륨 산화막(Ta₂O₅)으로, 스퍼터링으로 증착된 탄탈륨(Ta)을 900 ℃의 온도에서 급속열산화법(RTO)으로 형성하였다. 이렇게 형성된 탄탈륨 산화막은 TEM, SIMS, 및 누설전류 측정을 통해, 두께, 원소들의 깊이 분포 및 절연특성을 분석하였다. 수소가스 응답특성은 0부터 2,000 ppm의 수소가스 농도에 대해, 상온으로부터 200와 400 ℃의 온도에서 정전용량의 변화로 평가하였다. 그 결과, 시료로부터 감도가 우수하고, 약 60초의 응답 시간을 나타내는 특성을 확인하였다.

We have investigated a process for the preparation of high-quality tantalum oxynitride ( $T_{a}$ $O_{x}$ $N_{y}$) via the N $H_3$ annealing of 7$_{a2}$ $O_{5}$, for use in gate dielectric applications. Compared with tantalum oxide (7$_{a2}$ $O_{5}$), a significant improvement in the dielectric constant was obtained by the N $H_3$ treatment. In addition, light reoxidation in a wet ambient at 45$0^{\circ}C$ resulted in a significantly reduced leakage current. We confirmed nitrogen incorporation in the tantalum oxynitride ( $T_{a}$ $O_{x}$ $N_{y}$ by Auger Electron Spectroscopy. By optimizing the nitridation and reoxidation process, we obtained an equivalent oxide thickness as thin as 1.6nm and a leakage current of less than 10mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 1.5V..5V..5V..5V..5V..5V.

Tantalum oxide has been extensively investigated as one of the promising Resistive switching materials applicable to Resistive Dynamic Access Memories. Impedance spectroscopy offers simultaneous measurements of electrical and dielectric information, separation of electrical origins among bulk, grain boundaries, and interfaces, and the monitoring of electrical components. Such benefits have been combined with the resistive states of resistive switching devices which can be described in terms of equivalent circuits involving resistors, capacitors, and inductors, The current work employed pulsed laser deposition in order to prepare the oxygen-deficient tantalum oxide. The fabricated devices were controlled between highresistance and low-resistance states in controlled current compliance modes. The corresponding electrical phenomena were monitored both in the dc-based current-voltage characteristics and in the ac-based impedance spectroscopy. The origins of the electrical switching are discussed towards optimized ReRAM devices in terms of interfacial effects.

In an attempt to improve the electrical characteristics of tantalum pentoxide dielectric film, silicon substrate was reacted with a nitrogen plasma to form a silicon nitride of 50.angs. and then tantalum pentoxide thin films were formed by reactive sputtering in the same chamber. Breakdown field and leakage current density were measured to be 2.9 MV/cm and 9${\times}10^{8}\;A/cm^{2}$ respectively in these films whose thickness was about 180.angs.. With annealing at rectangular waveguides with a slant grid are investigated here. In particular, 900.deg. C in oxygen ambient for 100 minutes, breakdown field and leakage current density were improved to be 4.8 MV/cm and 1.61.6${\times}10^{8}\;A/cm^{2}$ respectively. It turned out that the electrical characteristics could also be improved by oxygen plasma post-treatment and the conduction mechanism at high electric field proved to be Schottky emission in these double-layered films.

We investigated a SiC-based hydrogen gas sensor with metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure for high temperature process monitoring and leak detection applications. The sensor was fabricated by Pd/$Ta_2O_5$/SiC structure, and a thin tantalum oxide ($Ta_2O_5$) layer was exploited with the purpose of sensitivity improvement, because tantalum oxide has good stability at high temperature as well as high permeability for hydrogen gas. In the experiment, dependence of I-V characteristics and capacitance response properties on hydrogen gas concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm was analyzed at room temperature to $500^{\circ}C$. As the result, our sensor exploiting a $Ta_2O_5$ dielectric layer showed possibilities with regard to use in hydrogen gas sensors for high-temperature applications.

In this study, we investigated the effect of electrodes on resistance switching of TaOx film. Pt, Ni, TiN, Ti and Al metal electrodes having the different oxidation degree were deposited on TaOx/Pt stack. Unipolar resistance switching behavior in Pt or Ni/TaOx/Pt MIM stacks was investigated, but bipolar resistance switching behavior in TiN, Ti or Al /TaOx/Pt MIM stacks was shown. We investigated that the voltage dependence of capacitance was decreased with higher oxidation degree of metal electrodes. Through the C-V results, we expected that linearity ($\alpha$) and quadratic ($\beta$) coefficient was reduced with an increase of interface layer between top electrode and Tantalum oxide. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) images depicted the thickness of interface layer formed with different oxidation degree of top electrode. Unipolar resistance switching behavior shown in lower oxidation degree of top electrode was expected to be generated by the formation of the conducting path in TaOx film. But redox reaction in interface between top electrode and Tantalum oxide may play an important role on bipolar resistance switching behavior exhibited in higher oxidation degree of top electrode. We expected that the resistance switching characteristics were determined by oxidation degree of metal electrodes.
