摘要
A novel remote plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (RPEALD) silicon nitride technology is developed in a production-worthy tool for nitride/oxide (N/O) stack gate dielectric. Ultrathin N/O stack (EOT∼13Å) is realized with 50X gate leakage current reduction over thermal oxides. In addition to drastic gate current reduction, devices with RPEALD N/O stack and plasma-nitrided base oxide also exhibit well-behaved device performance and superior reliability characteristics (Qbd, TDDB, NBTI), very promising for sub-65nm low power CMOS applications.
