Highlights: • ALD-derived HfO{sub 2} gate dielectrics have been deposited on Si substrates. • The leakage current mechanism for different deposition temperature was discussed. • Different emission at different field region has been determined precisely. - Abstract: The effect of deposition temperature on the growth rate, band gap energy and electrical properties of HfO{sub 2} thin film deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been investigated. By means of characterization of spectroscopy ellipsometry and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, the growth rate and optical constant of ALD-derived HfO{sub 2} gate dielectrics are determined precisely. The deposition temperature dependent electrical properties of HfO{sub 2} films were determined by capacitance–voltage (C–V) and leakage current density–voltage (J–V) measurements. The leakage current mechanism for different deposition temperature has been discussed systematically. As a result, the optimized deposition temperature has been obtained to achieve HfO{sub 2} thin film with high quality.
