- W2898850105 abstract "Atomic layer deposited (ALD) tantalum nitride (TaxNy) is evaluated as a barrier against aluminum inside gate metal stacks of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) devices. When deposited on hygroscopic oxides, like HfO2, amorphous tantalum nitride (a-TaxNy) is obtained, while deposition on Si or TiN results in polycrystalline Ta3N5. The low conductivity of both phases is not attractive for gate metal applications; however, a-TaxNy is crystallized to bixbyite Ta2N3 at 500 °C, improving its conductivity to ∼130 Ω−1 cm−1. For thicknesses below 10 nm, crystallization did not happen, but thin a-TaxNy barriers still obtain conductivity improvements to ∼500 Ω−1 cm−1 when Al diffuses into the film. In metal gate stacks, a-TaxNy screens the low work function of ALD TiAl more effectively than TiN. A barrier thickness reduction of 50% is achieved for n-MOSFET devices with an effective work function at 4.2–4.3 eV and low gate leakage. Slower diffusion of Al into TaxNy is observed by secondary ion mass spectroscopy; however, the cause of EWF lowering as a result of Al diffusion could not be confirmed. Instead, restoration of high EWF after removal of TiAl occurs, enabling an NMOS-first process integration with the use of 1 nm thin TaxNy barriers." @default.
