Abstract :
Extremely high (247cm2/Vs at peak) electron mobility has been obtained by sub-1 nm EOT of n-metal/HfO2 MISFET with well-controlled metal/HfO2 interface. It was found that Coulomb scattering due to nitrogen induced fixed charge degrades the mobility by analyzing the chemical structures of the metal electrode/HfO2 interface using backside XPS. Based on a consideration of this result, high-performance nMISFET has been fabricated by using nitrogen-free TaSix (Πm_eff=4.36eV on HfO2) as the gate electrode.
