ABSTRACTIn this paper we propose a new metal-gate CMOS technology that uses a combination of two metals to achieve a low threshold voltage for both n- and p-MOSFET's. One of the gate electrodes is formed by metal interdiffusion so that no metal has to be etched away from the gate dielectric surface. Consequently, this process does not compromise the integrity and electrical reliability of the gate dielectric. This new technology is demonstrated for the Ti-Ni metal combination that produces gate electrodes with 3.9 eV and 5.3 eV work functions for n-MOS and p-MOS devices respectively.

The Growth of ultrathin oxides in N2O ambient has been a subject of extensive research for submicron CMOS technology. Oxides grown in N2O tend to have a higher charge-to-breakdown, less charge trapping under constant current stress, and less interface state generation under current stress and radiation than conventional oxides grown in oxygen [1,2]. In addition the penetration of boron through N2O oxides is significantly less than through conventional thermal oxides [3]. The improved characteristics of N2O are due to an interfacial pileup of nitrogen atoms [1-3]. Thus the growth of thermal oxides in N2O provides a method for obtaining many of the more favorable aspects of reoxidized-nitrided silicon dioxides, with a much simpler process.

AbstractWe propose a new parameter predicating transconductance (Gm) of the gate dielectric of nitrided SiO2 with the physical thickness below 1.1 nm for high-performance transistors. The 6 different type of nitrided SiO2 are formed using the plasma nitridation or nitric oxide (NO) gas annealing in conditions to adjust a optical thickness ranging 0.96 to 1.19 nm. The material property of nitrided SiO2 are analyzed by secondary ions mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The MOSFET are fabricated using these gate dielectric and 90 nm generation CMOS technology. Then we find a good correlation between the maximum of Gm and the percentage of amount of N(SiN3)3 substructure at the total amount of NSi3 structure measured by XPS, rather than the total dose of nitrogen measured by SIMS.
