A dual-metal gate integration process for CMOS with sub-1-nm EOT HfO/sub 2/ by using HfN replacement gate

A replacement gate process employing a HfN dummy gate and sub-1-nm equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) HfO/sub 2/ gate dielectric is demonstrated. The excellent thermal stability of the HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack enables its use in high temperature CMOS processes. The replacement of HfN with other metal gate materials with work functions adequate for n- and pMOS is facilitated by a high etch selectivity of HfN with respect to HfO/sub 2/, without any degradation to the EOT, gate leakage, or time-dependent dielectric breakdown characteristics of HfO/sub 2/. By replacing the HfN dummy gate with Ta and Ni in nMOS and pMOS devices, respectively, a work function difference of /spl sim/0.8 eV between nMOS and pMOS gate electrodes is achieved. This process could be applicable to sub-50-nm CMOS technology employing ultrathin HfO/sub 2/ gate dielectric.

Dual high-/spl kappa/ gate dielectric with poly gate electrode: HfSiON on nMOS and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ capping layer on pMOS

In this letter, a novel dual high-/spl kappa/ approach, different high-/spl kappa/ dielectrics in nMOS and pMOS, with poly Si gate electrode is introduced. By turning the Fermi-pinning effect into an advantage, this dual high-/spl kappa/ approach achieved a lower V/sub tp/ and a symmetrical V/sub tn//V/sub tp/ over a wide range of channel lengths for potential high-/spl kappa//poly Si CMOS application. In addition to the V/sub t/ control, this approach also can improve the drive current ratio between nMOS and pMOS, which would further scale the CMOS area by reducing the pMOS width.     

CMOS Dual-Work-Function Engineering by Using Implanted Ni-FUSI

For the first time, a simple CMOS fully silicided (FUSI) process achieving n/pMOS band-edge work function was demonstrated, which is fully compatible with conventional CMOS process. Dual-work-function CMOS FUSI, with a wide range of 800 mV, was achieved by implantation of Yb into the poly of the nMOS gate (4.1-eV work function) and Ga into the poly of the pMOS gate (4.9-eV work function), respectively. The placement of the tuning elements at the metal/dielectric interface was engineered with the thermal budget, as well as the implant dose and species.     

The impact of TiN capping Layer on NiSi, CoSi/sub 2/, and Co/sub x/Ni/sub 1-x/Si/sub 2/ FUSI metal gate work function adjustment

The impact of TiN capping layer on dual work functions of Ni, Co, and Co-Ni fully silicided (FUSI) metal gates was investigated. It was found that the TiN capping layer significantly altered the distribution of both n- and p-dopants during the FUSI process, which in turn changed the work functions of both As-doped and B-doped in the three FUSI metal gate systems. The work function tuning was found to have a linear relationship with the change of dopant level at the silicides/dielectric interface after adding TiN capping layer. The investigation of TiN capping layer on FUSI provided some insights on work function tuning mechanism in FUSI systems. This work also suggested a new methodology for optimizing the nMOS and pMOS work functions for CMOS device applications.
