Abstract
We investigated the electrical characteristics of the MOSCAP structures with W/WNx/poly Si1-xGex gates stack using C-V and I-V. The low frequency C-V measurements demonstrated that the flat band voltage of the W/WNx/poly Si0.4Ge0.6 stack was lower than that of W/WNx/poly Si0.2Ge0.8 stack by 0.3V, and showed less gate-poly-depletion-effect than that of W/WNx/poly- Si0.2Ge0.8 gates due to the increase of dopant activation rate with the increase of Ge content in the poly Si1-xGex films. As Ge content in poly Si1-xGex increased, the leakage current level increased a little due to the increase of direct tunneling and QBD became higher due to the lower boron penetration.
