Abstract

By inserting thin WSix layer in tungsten poly gate stack we can effectively relieve the mechanical stress of gate hard mask nitride film, which contributes to the better gate oxide reliability and stress-immunity of trasistor. This insertion also could prevent the formation of Si-N dielectric layer atop poly-Si, which could lower the contact resistance between poly and tungsten effectively.
