- Abstract
Ultrathin Hf-Ti-O higher k gate dielectric films (~2.55 nm) have been prepared by atomic layer deposition. Their electrical properties and application in ETSOI (fully depleted extremely thin SOI) PMOSFETs were studied. It is found that at the Ti concentration of Ti/(Ti + Hf) ~9.4%, low equivalent gate oxide thickness (EOT) of ~0.69 nm and acceptable gate leakage current density of 0.61 A/cm @ ( V − 1) V could be obtained. The conduction mechanism through the gate dielectric is dominated by the F-N tunneling in the gate voltage range of −0.5 to −2 V. Under the same physical thickness and process flow, lower EOT and higher I / I ratio could be obtained while using Hf-Ti-O as gate dielectric compared with HfO. With Hf-Ti-O as gate dielectric, two ETSOI PMOSFETs with gate width/gate length ( W/ L) of 0.5 μm/25 nm and 3 μm/40 nm show good performances such as high I , I / I ratio in the magnitude of 10, and peak transconductance, as well as suitable threshold voltage (−0.3~−0.2 V). Particularly, ETSOI PMOSFETs show superior short-channel control capacity with DIBL <82 mV/ V and subthreshold swing <70 mV/decade.
