摘要
A novel dual-metal gate CMOS technology using nitrogen-concentration-controlled TiNx film is described. It is based on a new finding that threshold voltage (V-th) depends on the concentration of nitrogen in the TiNx gate electrode. We found that a V-th shift as high as -110 mV is controlled by low-energy nitrogen-ion implantation (N VI) into the titanium nitride film. By using this technology only for nMOSFETs, dual-metal gate CMOS devices are fabricated with a CMOS-process compatibility. A low V-th is achieved for both n- and pMOSFETs by combining N I/I and a low-doped channel structure.
