Abstract

In this paper, the materials and processing challenges for the fabrication of high-quality, ultra-thin (EOT<1 nm) dual-poly high-k gate stack for sub-100 nm CMOS technology are reviewed along with recent results on CVD HfO2. The requirement for ultra thin and robust interface layers to avoid any thickness increase due to post-deposition processing to achieve the thinnest possible EOT (equivalent oxide thickness) is discussed. Results are presented on the thermal stability of high-k materials, and interfacial reactions of high-k/Si and high-k/gate electrode interfaces. We also discuss key factors that govern the conduction and degradation mechanisms in high-k gate stacks. Finally, recent work on metal nitrides as possible gate electrode materials is reviewed and the upper thermal budget limit for such materials is discussed.
