Abstract :
We have fabricated the fully silicided IrxSi-gated p-MOSFETs on HfAlON gate dielectric with 1.7-nm equivalent oxide thickness. After 950°C rapid thermal annealing, the fully IrxSi/HfAlON device has high effective work function of 4.9 eV, high peak hole mobility of 80 cm2/V·s, and the advantage of being process compatible to the current VLSI fabrication line.
