摘要

This thesis focuses on the understanding of many fundamental properties of high-k gate dielectrics for Si CMOS gate applications, and on the development of ultra-thin ZrO2/Zr silicate, titanium aluminates, and TiO 2/SiN gate dielectrics.; The results demonstrate that the ultra-thin ZrO2/Zr silicate films deposited by the JVD process can have EOTs down to 1 nm, and possess high thermal stability, among other good electrical properties. The presence of a thermally stable Zr silicate interfacial layer may prevent the formation of interfacial silicon oxide during anneal.; Our results also reveal that either incorporating Al into TiO2, or using a high-quality ultra-thin JVD SiN layer can improve the properties of the gate stack after high temperature annealing. The nano-crystallization of titanium aluminates results in considerable degradation of transconductance and reliability.; The barrier heights over Si conduction band edge and conduction mechanisms of several scientifically and technically important high-k materials have been studied. Our results reveal that (1) Though Ta2O 5 possesses a larger bandgap than that of TiO2, due to its adverse band alignment to Si band, Ta2O5 only has a barrier height of 0.28 eV over Si conduction band edge, which is much smaller than that of TiO2. Therefore, Schottky emission or thermionic emission becomes the dominant conduction mechanism in over the Ta2O 5 barrier; (2) The high barrier height of 3.0 eV for ALD Al 2O3 over Si conduction band edge makes it attractive to block thermionic current at elevated temperatures; The barrier height of 2.1 eV for JVD ZrO2/Silicate over the Si conduction band edge is sufficient to block thermionic current; (3) Incorporating Al into TiO2 increases the barrier height of TiO2 over the Si conduction band edge; (4) The work function of 4.7 eV for Tungsten makes its Fermi-level at the mid-gap of Si band.; Through the course of this dissertation study, we have found that (1) it is possible to make MOSFETs with high-k gate dielectrics with mobilities that fit closely to the universal mobility curve, (2) a major portion of the reduced transconductance or conductance can be attributed to trapping, (3) among MOSFET's with Hf silicate, HfO2, and Hf aluminate, the device with Hf silicate shows the highest transconductance and lowest trap densities.
