摘要
We developed an Al2O3/ HfO2 bi-layer gate dielectric with an in-situ O-3 treatment for interface state density (D-it) and gate leakage current density (J(g)) reductions on SiGe channels. We observed Ge-content dependent equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) scaling and EOT 0.44 nm was achieved with an MOS capacitor with a Si-0.Ge-05(0.95) substrate. The O3 treatment enabled application to non-planar device structures and we demonstrated five orders of magnitude lower off currents (I-off), a sub-threshold slope of 68 mV/decade, and a very high hole mobility of 457 cm(2)V(-1)s(-1) at an inversion carrier density (N-inv) of 1 x 10(13) cm(-2) for asymmetrically strained SiGe PMOSFETs with Ge% of 65%-70%.
