The films were deposited on glass and \u3008100\u3009 crystalline silicon (c\u2010Si) substrates from ceramic targets by using argon (Ar) and oxygen (O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) as sputtering and reactive gases, respectively. The incorporation of SiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and Al<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> into hafnia was obtained by co\u2010sputtering and it was controlled by adjusting the ratio of r.f. power applied between the targets. The HfO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> films present a microcrystalline structure, when deposited at room temperature (RT). The lowest leakage current in c\u2010Si MIS (Metal\u2010Insulator\u2010Semiconductor) structures (below 10<jats:sup>9<\/jats:sup>\u2009A\/cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> at 10\u2009V on films with a thickness around 180\u2009nm) was obtained for an Ar\/O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> ratio of 14:1\u2009sccm, and further increase in O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> flow does not enhance the electrical characteristics. The co\u2010deposition of SiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> or Al<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> with hafnia has a strong influence on the structure of the resulting films since they become amorphous. The leakage current in MIS structures incorporating these multi\u2010component dielectrics is reduced at least by a factor of 2, which is accompanied by an increase on the band gap. The dielectric constant is decreased due to the lower values for SiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and Al<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/pssa.200881799","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,12]],"date-time":"2009-08-12T10:39:58Z","timestamp":1250073598000},"page":"2149-2154","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Sputtered multicomponent amorphous dielectrics for transparent electronics"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"206","author":[{"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Pereira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Barquinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gon\u00e7alo","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Vil\u00e0","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Antonis","family":"Olziersky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Joan","family":"Morante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Elvira","family":"Fortunato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1542677"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1553997"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1790587"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1843286"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jnoncrysol.2006.01.067"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1083212"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1149\/1.2945869"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pssr.200600049"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jnoncrysol.2006.01.073"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1063\/1.2495754"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mssp.2006.10.031"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","first-page":"2462","volume":"92","author":"Venkataraj S.","year":"2002","journal-title":"J.
