Abstract(in English) For the stack structures of HfO_2 electron-beam evaporated on nitrided Si(1OO), the blocking ProPerties of ultrathin SiN_x(x=~1.3,~1.Onm in thickness) against oxidation in dry 0_2 anneal in the temperature range of 300~600℃ has been studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflection (FT-IR-ATR). Although~1 nm-thick SiN_x layer grown by NH_3 anneal at 700℃ prior to the HfO_2 evaporation suppresses the oxidation of Si(1OO) in 0_2 annealing at 500℃, the surface oxidation of the ultrathin SiN_x proceeds accompanied with the movement of nitrogen atoms from the oxidized SiN_x surface to the Si surface. As a result, the interfacial oxide layer thickness is increased with no significant changes in nitrogen bonding features at the interface. The interfacial oxide formation was also examined as a function of 0_2 anneal temperature for the stack structure of HfO_2 on nitrided Si(1OO). The control of 0_2 partial pressure is required to avoid the interfacial oxidation during the thermal budget higher than 350℃.
