Abstract :
We have successfully developed a process for ALD HfSiOx that can provide excellent compositional control by using new Si precursors, Si2Cl6 (HCDS) and SiH[(CH3)2]3 (tDMAS). In addition, comparisons of electrical properties of HfSiOx using two Si precursors have been performed. CMOSFET with HfSiOx using HCDS results in better reliability characteristics than tDMAS. Superior electron and hole mobility (100% and 90% of universal curve at 0.8MV/cm) are also achieved with HCDS. Consequently, HCDS has the potential to be used as a Si precursor for ALD HfSiOx.
