Title: Deep-submicron CMOS process integration of HfO/sub 2/ gate dielectric with poly-Si gate
Abstract: We demonstrate the integration of sputterdeposited ultra-thin HfO2 gate dielectric into a sub-100 nm gate length CMOS process using poly-Si as the gate material. Good device characteristics have been observed down to 70 nm physical gate length, and an equivalent gate oxide thickness (EOT) of 11Å has been achieved. Both p-FETs and n-FETs with HfO2 gate dielectric show ~10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sup> times lower gate leakage than Si02 with comparable EOT. Data and model suggest that the gate leakage of Hf02 will be lOO times lower than that of Si02 down to 5Å EOT.
