Replacement is needed to reduce gate-leakage while still maintaining good reliability and a high-level of transistor performance. One such candidate is HfSiON dielectric film. In this paper we report for the first time, IV and CV characteristics, stability and reliability results for amorphous HfSiON dielectric films scaled below 13 /spl Aring/. Our results show that leakage current through this material is reduced by two orders of magnitude versus an equivalent SiO/sub 2/ film, while the interface and TDDB stability remains good. The positive leakage, stability and reliability results indicate that HfSiON may be a suitable candidate for gate-oxide replacement in CMOS applications where an effective hyper-thin gate-oxide is required for performance reasons and a reduced gate-leakage for low-power applications.","PeriodicalId":13825,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting.

We show that the model is consistent with three new experimental studies. The improved model now predicts the formation of extended defects from nitrogen implants, correlates well with positron annihilation studies, and agrees with the diffusion results when the damage is changed by co-implants of silicon. The improved model is valid over a wider range of conditions.","PeriodicalId":13825,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting. Technical Digest (Cat.

However there is still considerable concern about the interaction between porous low-k materials and CVD barriers, especially diffusion of CVD precursors into the pores of the low-k material and subsequent metal deposition inside the low-k material.
