In this paper, we address gate stack and channel engineering for improving the channel mobility and the MOS interface properties with emphasis on thin EOT and ultrathin body, which are mandatory in the future nodes. As for Ge MOSFETs, GeOx/Ge interfaces formed by plasma post oxidation are shown to realize thin EOT, low Dit and high mobility. HfO2/Al2O3/GeOx/Ge gate stacks exhibit record high electron and hole mobility under EOT of 0.76 nm. As for III-V MOSFETs, ultrathin InAs channels with MOS interface buffer layers are shown to provide high electron mobility under InAs thickness of 3 nm. The results of low Dit HfO2/Al2O3/InGaAs stacks with CET of 1.08 nm are also presented. A strategy to enhance electron mobility in InGaAs MOSFETs on a basis of physical understanding of the MOS interface properties including high Dit inside the conduction band is also addressed.","PeriodicalId":6376,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86721003","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}
