Resumen

We report process development work targeting mobility enhancement in n-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (NMOSFET) utilizing high-& dielectrics and TiN gate electrodes. We have investigated the following gate stack issues: surface preparation, dielectric thickness, dielectric composition, post deposition annealing and TiN deposition process. Our mobility results lead to the following conclusions: 1) mobility is enhanced with ozone chemical oxide interfaces relative to NH3 nitrided interfaces, 2) mobility is enhanced with scaled HfO2 thickness 3) mobility is enhanced at low SiO2 composition HfSiO (33% SiO 2), but progress slows at high SiO2 compositions (55% SiO2), 4) mobility and Idsat are enhanced with N2 post deposition anneal (PDA) vs. NH3 PDA and 5) mobility may be enhanced with ALD TiN gate electrode relative to CVD TiN. In some cases, mobility enhancement is concurrent with gate leakage current or equivalent oxide thickness trade-offs.
