Abstract
In0.53Ga0.47As quantum-well (QW) MOSFETs with a novel interfacial layer(IL)/high-k stack on an improved interface were fabricated. Excellent device characteristics (SS~72mV/dec, Ion/Ioff>106 at Vds=0.5V, DIBL~26mV/v for a device at EOT~1.25nm) were obtained. In addition, EOT was scaled down to 1.0 nm without a significant degradation in electrical properties. The extracted field-effect mobility (peak μeff ~3100 cm2/V-s for EOT~1.25nm and μeff ~ 2400 cm2/V-s for EOT~1.0nm) is the highest split C-V mobility reported for surface channel In0.53Ga0.47As MOSFETs at such small EOT. We demonstrate a record reliability performance using the new IL with an overdrive voltage, Vov~0.5V for a 10 year operation (with maximum ΔVth=30mV) at EOT~1.25nm. We attribute this performance enhancement in mobility to reduced surface roughness (extremely smooth surface) and remote phonon scattering (due to IL), and improvement in reliability to enhanced energy misalignment between defect bands in high-k and charge carriers in the semi-conductor respectively.
