Abstract
A novel electron cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced chemical vapor de position process using an alternative carbon-free source, namely TaF5, is proposed to obtain high quality amorphous Ta2O5 films. The excelle nt physical and electrical properties suggest that this material is cl early compatible with the requirements of high density CMOS operation, as demonstrated by the fabrication of p-channel MOS transistors with a Ta2O5 gate insulator.
