摘要:
A structure, and method of fabrication, for high performance semiconductor field effect devices is disclosed. These devices are having a gate dielectric containing a germanate material. In representative embodiments the gate dielectric is essentially a layer of a germanate material. The chemical composition of such materials is MezGexOy, where Me stands for a metal with high ion polarizability, and x, y, and z are non-zero integers. Such a gate dielectric is advantageous, from the point of view of dielectric constant, barrier height, carrier mobility, thermal stability, and interface stability.

摘要:
The present invention provides a gate stack structure that has high mobilites and low interfacial charges as well as semiconductor devices, i.e., metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) that include the same. In the semiconductor devices, the gate stack structure of the present invention is located between the substrate and an overlaying gate conductor. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating the inventive gate stack structure in which a high temperature annealing process (on the order of about 800° C.) is employed. The high temperature anneal used in the present invention provides a gate stack structure that has an interface state density, as measured by charge pumping, of about 8×1010 charges/cm2 or less, a peak mobility of about 250 cm2/V-s or greater and substantially no mobility degradation at about 6.0×1012 inversion charges/cm2 or greater.

A method of fabricating hafnium oxide and/or zirconium oxide films is provided. The methods include providing a mixture of Hf and/or Zr alkoxide dissolved, emulsified or suspended in a liquid; vaporizing at least the alkoxide and depositing the vaporized component at a temperature of greater than 400° C. The resultant film is dense, microcrystalline and is capable of self-passivation when treated in a hydrogen plasma or forming gas anneal.
摘要:
A compound metal comprising HfSiN which is a n-type metal having a workfunction of about 4.0 to about 4.5, preferably about 4.3, eV which is thermally stable on a gate stack comprising a high k dielectric and an interfacial layer. Furthermore, after annealing the stack of HfSiN/high k dielectric/interfacial layer at a high temperature (on the order of about 1000° C.), there is a reduction of the interfacial layer, thus the gate stack produces a very small equivalent oxide thickness (12 Å classical), which cannot be achieved using TaSiN.
