Performance and Reliability Improvement of HfSiON Field-Effect Transistor with Low Hafnium Concentration Cap Layer Formed by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition with Diethylsilane
JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS(2008)
摘要
We have demonstrated stacked HfSiON gate dielectrics with a low-Hf-concentration [Hf/(Hf + Si) = 6%] cap (LHC) layer. For fabricating the LHC layer, diethylsilane is more effective due to its decomposition characteristics being better than those of conventional amine-based precursors. The stacked structures exhibit improved mobility, the suppression of V-th Shift, superior negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), and positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) reliability for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (CMOSFETs), while maintaining low gate leakage currents. The mobility improvement is due to the superior control of nitrogen atoms, and the superior threshold voltage control and long-term reliability of the film are mainly due to the suppression of the positive oxygen vacancy (V-O(2+)) formation related to carrier traps. These results were supported by the results of first-principles calculation.
