Abstract

Al2O3 (EOT=22.7 Å) gate dielectric layer formed by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process have been characterized for sub-100nm CMOS devices. The gate leakage current was 3 orders of magnitude lower than that of SiO2 and the hysteresis of C-V curve was not observed. However, the negative fixed charge induced the flat band voltage (Vfb) shift and degraded the channel mobility of MOS transistor. The Vfb shift was reduced and channel mobility was improved by applying P+ gate by BF2 implantation. It is suggested that the phosphorous diffused from gate polysilicon has a role of network modifier in Al2O3 film and formation of the Al-O- dangling bond which may be ascribed to negative fixed charge.
