Abstract
We demonstrate the viability of gadolinium scandate (Gd2-xScxO3) deposition by high pressure sputtering from targets of its binary compounds (gadolinium and scandium oxides), followed by an anneal in forming gas. Pt/8 nm Gd2-xScxO3/n-Si MIS devices were fabricated and characterized. Gadolinium scandate is found to be more stable than ScOx and GdOx in contact with Si. These three dielectrics show a high quality interface, with low leakage currents.
