The impact of TiN film thickness variations on the effective work function (WF) of poly-Si/TiN/SiO/sub 2/ and poly-Si/TiN/HfSiON interfaces has been investigated. The electrical signatures of these gate stacks indicate that the concentration of Hf-Ti and Ti-Si bonds at the (poly-Si/TiN)/HfSiON and (poly-Si/TiN)/SiO/sub 2/ interface plays a significant role on the control of the gate stacks' WF. The density of these interfacial bonds and the related work function changes are correlated to the degree of nucleation of the TiN film on the dielectric. 相似文献

The impact of aluminum (Al) implantation into TiN/SiO2 on the effective work function (EWF) of poly-Si/ TiN/SiO2 is investigated. Al implanted at 5 keV with a dose of 5 times 1015 cm-2 reduces the flatband voltage (VFB) and the EWF of poly-Si/TiN/SiO2 stack by ~150 mV compared with the unimplanted poly-Si/TiN/SiO2 stack. This reduction of VFB is found to be dose-dependent, which is correlated to the Al concentration at the TiN-SiO2 interface as evidenced by secondary-ion-mass-spectrometry profiles. The interface dipole created due to the Al presence at the metal-dielectric interface is believed to contribute to the observed VFB (or EWF) reduction (or increase). This technique for EWF modulation is promising for further threshold-voltage (Vt) tuning without any process complexities and is quite significant for planar and multiple gate field-effect transistors on fully depleted silicon on insulator. 相似文献

A study on using a novel metal gate-the Ni fully GermanoSilicide (FUGESI)-in pMOSFETs is presented. Using HfSiON high-/spl kappa/ gate dielectrics and comparing to Ni fully Silicide (FUSI) devices, this paper demonstrates that the addition of Ge in poly-Si gate (with Ge/(Si+Ge)/spl sim/50%) results in: 1) an increase of the effective work function by /spl sim/ 210 mV due to Fermi-level unpinning effect; 2) an improved channel interface; 3) a reduced gate leakage; and 4) the superior negative bias temperature instability characteristics. Low-frequency noise measurement reveals a decreased 1/f and generation-recombination noise in FUGESI devices compared to FUSI devices, which is attributed to the reduced oxygen vacancies (V/sub o/)-related defects in the HfSiON dielectrics in FUGESI devices. The reduced V/sub o/-related defects stemming from Ge at FUGESI /HfSiON interface are correlated with the Fermi-level unpinning effect and the improved electrical characteristics observed in FUGESI devices. 相似文献

This work reports that introducing lanthanide in the gate dielectric or in the gate electrode results, in both cases, in large effective work function (eWF) modulation towards n-type band-edge for Ni-FUSI devices. This is done by: (a) deposition of a Dy2O3 capping layer on the host dielectric (SiON or HfSiON), or (b) simple Yb implantation of nMOS poly gates prior to FUSI. We show that: (1) both cases result in dielectric modification with gate leakage (JG) reduction; (2) adding a cap has no significant impact on Tinv(<1 Å), while up to ~5 and 2 Å reduction occurs for SiON and HfSiON Yb-implanted devices, respectively, (3) the largest JG reduction (150×) is obtained for capped SiON devices due to dielectric intermixing and formation of a new high-k dielectric (DySiON), comparable to HfSiON in JG and mobility but with 500 mV smaller VT; (4) on the other hand, being less invasive to the host dielectric, the optimized Yb I/I option gives 18% improved mobility compared to capped SiON devices; (5) excellent process control and reliability behavior (VT instability by a.c. pulsed IV, PBTI and TDDB) is reported for both eWF tuning methods. They allow ΔeWF(n?p) values up to ~800 meV when combined with Ni–silicide FUSI phase engineering, promising for low-VT CMOS. 相似文献

Among the novel methods for flatband voltage (Vfb) measurement, we demonstrate that a gate-leakage-based technique is the most suitable for measuring Vfb in floating-body MOSFETs with ultrathin gate dielectrics. Starting from carrier separation experiments on planar MOSFETs, we show the universality of the gate conduction mechanism dependence on band alignment for both n- and p-FETs. We demonstrate that metrics based on the gate leakage (either its valence-band electron-tunneling component or its first-order derivative) reflect this dependence and allow equivalent-oxide-thickness-independent Vfb quantification. This dependence is also valid for high-k and capped gate dielectrics, whereas their gate conduction mechanism is dominated by direct tunneling. To illustrate, we extract gate-leakage-derivative-based metrics and measure Vfb of TaN and TiN gate electrodes in multiple-fin FETs integrated on silicon-on-insulator. 相似文献

This letter reports that the effective work function (eWF) of Ni-Fully Silicided (Ni-FUSI) devices with HfSiON gate dielectrics can be modulated toward the silicon conduction band-edge by deposition of an ultra-thin Dy2O3 cap layer on the host dielectric. The obtained eWF depends on the deposited cap layer thickness and the Ni-FUSI phase, with 10 Aring Dy2O3 cap resulting in DeltaeWF ap 400 meV and final eWF ap 4.08 eV for NiSi-FUSI. Dielectric intermixing occurs without impacting the VT uniformity, gate leakage, mobility, and reliability. Well-behaved short-channel devices ( Lg ~ 100 nm, SS ~ 70 mV/dec, and DIBL ~ 65 mV/V) are demonstrated for both HfSiON and [HfSiON/Dy2O3 cap (5 Aring)] devices with NiSi-FUSI gates, corresponding to a similar . This capping approach, when combined with Ni-silicide FUSI phase engineering, allows (n-p) values up to 800 meV, making it promising for low- CMOS. 相似文献

In this letter, nMOSFETs using a NiSi:Yb fully silicide (FUSI) electrode are demonstrated for the first time. We report that the integration of NiSi:Yb FUSI into our reference n-FETs with the respective SiON / HfSiON gate dielectrics results in a Vt reduction from 0.55/0.52 down to 0.30/0.43 V, without degradation of the gate dielectric integrity, channel interface states, and long channel device mobility 相似文献
