Our results show that CVD TaN films deposited using TBTDET (tertbutylimidoirisdiethylamido tantalum) exhibit excellent thermal stability with underlying ultra thin SiO/sub 2/ up to 1000/spl deg/C and extremely stable work function (5eV@800-1000/spl deg/C) suitable for p-MOS device applications. Compared to PVD TaN, MOS devices with CVD TaN gate electrode show desirable work function for p-MOS devices, excellent stability of gate oxide thickness, leakage current, and interface properties during high-temperature annealing, and superior gate dielectric TDDB reliability. These results suggest that CVD TaN can be used as the gate electrode on ultra thin gate oxide in self-aligned gate-first CMOS processing.","PeriodicalId":13825,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting.

Optimization of the barrier layer realizes lower and small variation contact resistance with enough prevention of copper diffusion from the contact hole. Copper filling realizes a 65% reduction of contact resistance in 0.16 /spl mu/m diameter contacts and very small contact depth dependence. There is no degradation of junction leakage current and no difference in reliability characteristics compared to a conventional tungsten filling process. Gate oxide TDDB and hot carrier injection test results are shown. Another benefit of the copper filling process is lower production cost. Dual damascene structures for contact and metal-1 reduce process steps by 40%. Furthermore, investment for tungsten filling machines is saved because BEOL processes can be switched to copper filling for 0.13 /spl mu/m generations. Especially, in a 300 mm wafer fabrication line, the decrease in the varieties of machines will be significant.","PeriodicalId":13825,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting.

A cascoded 4-T active pixel sensor is more sensitive to this effect due to its small sensing capacitance. Temperature varying experiments are performed to confirm this mechanism. The spatial distribution of the excess carriers is quantified to be within /spl sim/30 /spl mu/m around the source follower transistors.

It is shown that under certain scenarios, 3D ICs can actually lead to better thermal performance than planar (2D) ICs. With the effect of vias, as efficient heat dissipation paths, taken into account, our model provides more realistic temperature rise estimation for 3D ICs. Furthermore, tradeoffs among power, performance, chip real estate and thermal impact for 3D ICs is evaluated. Finally, the thermal influence from incorporating RF circuits and optical interconnect on 3D ICs has been discussed.","PeriodicalId":13825,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting.
