    Abstract

    We have fabricated the fully silicided NiSi and germanided MGe dual gates n- and p-MOSFETs on 1.9 nm thick SiO 2 gate dielectric. The extracted work functions of fully NiSi and NiGe gates from thickness-dependent flat band voltage were 4.55 and 5.2 eV respectively, which may provide possible wide work function tuning using NiSi 1-xGe x. In additional to the lower gate current than Al gate n- and p-MOSFETs, the fully silicided NiSi and germanided NiGe gates MOSFETs show electron and hole mobilities close to universal mobility values with special advantage of process compatible to current VLSI fabrication line.
