Abstract
In this work, 2-tier Monolithic 3-Dimentional (M3D) integrated FinFETs and circuits are fabricated based on a low-temperature ($\le 500~^{\circ }$ C) silicide dopant segregation Schottky Source/Drian (SDSS S-D) technology. By forming NiPt silicide followed by B/P implantation and optimizing annealing on top-tier fins, a sharpened Schottky Barrier of the silicide and a high dopant segregation concentration of the impurities are obtained in the improved silicide S-D with maximum process temperature below $500~^{\circ }$ C. As a result, Low-T 2-tier M3D FinFETs are obtained with I${}_{\text {ON}}= 646.4~\mu $ A/$\mu $ m for PMOS and I${}_{\text {ON}} = 450.6~\mu $ A/$\mu $ m for NMOS at L${}_{\text {G}}=500$ nm and a record I${}_{\text {ON}}=1.84$ mA/$\mu $ m is achieved for PMOS at L${}_{\text {G}} =25$ nm under normalized footprint. Furthermore, M3D inverter, ring oscillators, as well as 6T SRAM with this technique are demonstrated, which is promising to provide an effective and low-cost method to achieve low-temperature high- performance silicon circuits in M3D applications.
