摘要:	The combination of full Ni silicidation (Ni-FUSI) gate electrodes and hafnium-based high-k gate dielectrics is one of the most promising replacements for poly-Si/SiO(2)/Si gate stacks for the future complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sub-45-nm technology node. The key challenges to successfully adopting the Ni-FUSI/high-k dielectric/Si gate stack for advanced CMOS technology are mostly due to the interfacial properties. The origins of the electrical and physical characteristics of the Ni-FUSI/dielectric oxide interface and dielectric oxide/bulk interface were studied in detail. We found that Ni-FUSI undergoes a phase transformation during silicide formation, which depends more on annealing temperature than on the underlying gate dielectric material. The correlations of Ni-Si phase transformations with their electrical and physical changes were established by sheet resistance measurements, x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The leakage current density-voltage (J-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement techniques were employed to study the dielectric oxide/Si interface. The effects of the postdeposition annealing (PDA) treatment on the interface charges of dielectric oxides were studied. We found that the PDA can effectively reduce the trapping density and leakage current and eliminate hysteresis in the C-V curves. In addition, the changes in chemical bonding features at HfO(2)/Si and HfSiO/Si interfaces due to PDA treatment were evaluated by XPS measurements. XPS analysis provides a better interpretation of the electrical outcomes. As a result, HfSiO films exhibited superior performance in terms of thermal stability and electrical characteristics.
