Research Abstract |
This subject aims to establish gate stack integration with metal-gate/high-k film/S_1 structure for future MOSFET with very low SiO_2 equivalent oxide thickness (EOT). The goals were the leakage current decrease of 6 orders relative to S_1O_2 with the same EOT and the same interface quality as SiO_2/Si The obtained results are summarized as follows: 1. SiO_2(15nm)/S_1 structure was first formed by thermal oxidation and subsequent etching Hf metal deposition and oxidation for SiO_2/S_1 structure were performed by using electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma, which was followed by the post deposition annealing to induce the solid state reaction between HfO_x and SiO_2 As a results, EOT=115 nm and 4 orders decrease of leakage current could be achieved for fabricated TaN/HfO_2/HfSiO/S_1structure, Also, interface density (D_it) evaluation was performed by using DLTS, and D_it was 1× 10^<11>cm^<-2> eV^<-1>, which is similar to that of SiO_2/Si. 2.In order to establish process integration of metal gate, the etching methods and the effective work functions φ_eff of various metals such as Au, Pt, HfN, TaN, Al, and Hf on S_1O_2 and HfO_2 were studied in detail As a result, it was clarified that φ_eff for Au and Pt have high values of 5 0 eV, φ_eff for HfN and TaN have middle values of 4 5 eV, and cm for Al and Hf have low values 0.40 eV Through these investigations, the threshold voltage control for n-and p-channel MOSFET became possible. 3.The process integration for TaN/high-k/S_1-MOSFET was well established The fabricated MOSFET showed the normal operation Also, it was clarified that the degradation of interface quality and mobility caused by TaN deposition could be improved by relatively high temperature annealing.
