摘要
We demonstrate for the first time that nMOS devices with PVD TaN gate on 1.2nm EOT SiON can be fabricated with high drive currents. On state currents of 1150muA/mum (I-off < 10nA/mum) at 1.2V and 810muA/mum (I-off < 10nA/mum) at 1.0V are among the highest ever reported. The TaN metal gate electrode allows the Capacitance Equivalent Thickness (CET or Tox-inv) to be scaled by 0.4nm without increasing the gate leakage. A special metal etch stopping on 1.4nm EOT SiON has been developed resulting in gate stacks of similar reliability as poly gate electrodes. We also report on an implant into the metal gate electrode that reduces gate leakage and increases mobility.
