Abstract

The structural and magnetic properties of dilutely doped 3d elements in pulsed laser deposition (PLD) grown HfO 2 high-k dielectric thin films were studied. Monoclinc phase of HfO 2 was stabilized by Co- and Fe- substitution at significantly low growth temperature. High purity HfO 2, CoO and Fe 2O 3 powders were mixed throughly in the required ratio for 5mol% Co and Fe doping in HfO 2. The results from atomic force microscopy showed possible segregation of Fe 3O 4 phase in the form of nanoscale mounds.
