- Abstract
- We investigated the effects of gas flow rates during sputtering and thickness of TIN metal gate on the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) and flat band voltage (V-FB) in the gate-first (GF) processed metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices with HfO2 and HfSiON-based gate dielectrics. For both HfO2 and HfiSON devices, more metallic TIN causes thinner EOT with lower V-FB while higher V-FB is observed along with thicker EOT for nitrogen-rich TIN case. Also, thicker TiN induces more positive V-FB shift. However, for HfSiON, amount of V-FB shift and EOT reduction is smaller than those of HfO2-based device, resulting from stronger immunity of Hf-Si bonding against oxygen vacancy generation during thermal process.
