摘要
Surface preparation technique using NH3 anneal has been investigated to reduce interface reaction and consequently the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of hafnium oxide for alternative gate dielectric application. MOSCAPs and MOSFETs were fabricated on the NH3 nitrided substrates with HfO2 dielectric and TaN gate electrode. Using this nitridation technique, EOT of as thin as 7.1Angstrom with 10(-2)A/cm(2) at -1.5V was obtained. Furthermore, excellent device characteristics, and reasonable reliability have been achieved.
