摘要:
A method of fabricating an N-type Schottky barrier Source/Drain Transistor (N-SSDT) with ytterbium silicide (YbSi2-x) for source and drain is presented. The fabrication of YbSi2-x is compatible with the normal CMOS process but ultra-high vacuum, which is required for ErSi2-x fabrication, is not needed here. To prevent oxidation of ytterbium during ex situ annealing and to improve the film quality, a suitable capping layer stack has been developed.

Low work function metals for use as gate electrode in nMOS devices are provided. The low work function metals include alloys of lanthanide(s), metal and semiconductor. In particular, an alloy of nickel-ytterbium (NiYb) is used to fully silicide (FUSI) a silicon gate. The resulting nickel-ytterbium-silicon gate electrode has a work function of about 4.22 eV.
