Both low gate leakage currents (0.1 mA/cm/sup 2/ at V/sub g/=+1.0 V) and low EOT (15.6 /spl Aring/) sufficiently satisfy the specifications (EOT=12/spl sim/20 /spl Aring/, J/sub g/=2.2 mA/cm/sup 2/) estimated by ITRS for low power applications. By in-situ 3 step post-deposition annealing, approximately 17 at.% nitrogen is incorporated at the HfAlON/Si interface. In-situ 3 step post-deposition annealing decreases metallic Hf bonding, which exists at the HfO/sub 2/-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ laminate/Si interface. As a result, we can suppress C-V hysteresis and improve current performance. Finally, well-behaved 100 nm CMOSFET devices are achieved. The measured saturation currents at 1.2 V V/sub dd/ are 585 /spl mu//spl Aring///spl mu/m (I/sub off/= 10 nA//spl mu/m) for nMOSFET and 265 /spl mu/A//spl mu/m (I/sub off/=10 nA//spl mu/m) for pMOSFET, which are approximately 80% of those of nitrided SiO/sub 2/.

Electron mobility enhancements at high channel doping (up to 6 /spl times/ 10/sup 18/ cm/sup -3/) are characterized in strained Si n-MOSFETs. For low inversion layer carrier concentrations, channel-dopant ionized impurity scattering does reduce the strain-induced mobility enhancement, but the enhancement is recovered at higher inversion charge concentrations, where screening is efficient. Mobility enhancement in strained Si p-MOSFETs is also discussed. There are process integration challenges and opportunities associated with this technology. Dopant diffusion, and its impact on profile engineering in strained Si CMOS structures, is one example. While the slower diffusion of B in Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ enables improved doping profile control, the diffusivity of the n-type dopants is dramatically enhanced in Si/sub 0.8/Ge/sub 0.2/.","PeriodicalId":74909,"journal":{"name":"Technical digest.
