ABSTRACTA Xe flash lamp (FL) heating technique was applied to the post deposition annealing process (PDA) for HfAlOx/SiO2 gate insulator with poly-Si or W/TiN gate electrode in a gate last based process. In the case of W/TiN/HfAlOx/SiO2, CV hysteresis with less than 10mV was achieved using the FL-PDA. However, the FL-PDA increased hysteresis width up to over 100 mV when poly-Si was used as a gate electrode. That occurred also with low temperature (700 °C) rapid thermal PDA process. The lower thermal budget achieved by the flash lamp annealing and the metal gate is effective to suppress the interfacial reaction which causes the traps responsible for the hysteresis. Charge trapping in the W/TiN/HfAlOx/SiO2 was evaluated using CV hysteresis characteristics in the MISFETs and the MIS capacitors. Electron was major trapped charge of the HfAlOx.

AbstractThis work reports on the epitaxial growth of crystalline high-k Gd2O3 on Si (111) by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) for CMOS gate application. Epitaxial Gd2O3 films of different thicknesses have been deposited on Si (111) between 650°C~750°C. Electrical characterizations reveal that the sample grown at the optimal temperature (700°C) presents an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 0.73nm with a leakage current density of 3.6×10-2 A/cm2 at |Vg-VFB|=1V. Different Post deposition Annealing (PDA) treatments have been performed for the samples grown under optimal condition. The Gd2O3 films exhibit good stability and the PDA process can effectively reduce the defect density in the oxide layer, which results in higher performances of the Gd2O3/Si (111) capacitor.

ABSTRACTScaled HfAlxOy/SiO2 stacks down to 1.5 nm EOT have been achieved. Although the addition of Al to the HfO2 matrix can be beneficial, it is observed that the benefit of using a Hf-aluminate is compromised if the film has a high Al-content. This is observed in terms of a dielectric constant close to that of pure Al2O3 (∼ 9) and a large amount of negative fixed charge in the film (∼ 1012 cm-2). Using oxygen post deposition anneals we have been able to reduce flatband voltage shifts associated with fixed charge as well as CV hysteresis. In terms of scaling, the benefit of using a high-k material is compromised if a SiO2 layer is also present in the gate stack. Therefore, it is necessary to perform an O2 PDA at moderate temperatures or in low O2 partial pressures in order to control the thickness of the interfacial oxide layer.
