Gate-First Integration of Tunable Work Function Metal Gates of Different Thicknesses Into High-k/Metal Gates CMOS FinFETs for Multi- V rmTh Engineering

Gate-first integration of tunable work function metal gates of different thicknesses (3-20 nm) into high-k/metal gates CMOS FinFETs was demonstrated to achieve multiple threshold voltages (V rmTh) for 32-nm technology and beyond logic, memory, input/output, and system-on-a-chip applications. The fab...

Description
Summary:Gate-first integration of tunable work function metal gates of different thicknesses (3-20 nm) into high-k/metal gates CMOS FinFETs was demonstrated to achieve multiple threshold voltages (V rmTh) for 32-nm technology and beyond logic, memory, input/output, and system-on-a-chip applications. The fabricated devices showed excellent short-channel effect immunity (drain-induced barrier lowering 640 mV/V), nearly symmetric V rmTh, low T rminv (61.4 nm), and high I rmonUnknown character(6 [/mspa ce] hbox780Unknown characterkA[ mo]/km) for N/PMOS without any intentional strain enhancement.
