Abstract

In the present work, we have fabricated the zirconium doped TiO2 thin (ZTO) films from a facile spin – coating method. The addition of Zirconium in TiO2 offers conduction band offset to Si and consequently decreased the leakage current density by approximately two orders as compared to pure TiO2 thin (TO) films. The ZTO thin film shows a high dielectric constant 27 with a very low leakage current density ∼10−8 A/cm2. The oxide capacitate, flat band voltage and change in flat band voltage are 172 pF, -1.19 V and 54 mV. The AFM analysis confirmed the compact and pore free flat surface. The RMS surface roughness is found to be 1.5 Å. The ellipsometry analysis also verified the fact with a high refractive index 2.21.
