Based on the electrical characterization of MuGFETs and the physical analysis of their gate stacks, we show that the thickness of the TiN metal gate affects the nature of its reaction with the gate dielectric.

Ion implantation is a leading candidate as the means to introduce dopants into the silicon, but is often accompanied by amorphization when highly doped source-drain regions are formed. Thin-body silicon recrystallization after amorphization is not as straight-forward as bulk silicon. Crystalline integrity is worse as the fin width is scaled, thereby reducing dopant activation and increasing access resistance. In this work we demonstrate that non-amorphizing implant approaches can overcome drive degradation down to 10 nm wide fins in pMOS FinFETs.","PeriodicalId":121088,"journal":{"name":"ESSDERC 2008 - 38th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"218 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115520346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
