Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We found that nanometer-scale spots in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images appear during the STM observation of thin HfO_2 films on Si. It is considered that these STM-induced spots correspond to some specific defects around the HfO_2 surface. The defect density estimated by STM decreases with increasing the temperature of post deposition annealing (PDA, 400-550℃). Furthermore, the PDA-temperature dependence of the defect density is approximately consistent with that of the density of fixed positive charges in the HfO_2 films. We therefore consider that STM visualizes the sites of fixed positive charges in the HfO_2 films.
