Abstract
A new double-layered structure of poly-Si/SiGe gate has been proposed to improve the current performance of CMOSFETs and the reproducibility of devices. The double-layered poly-Si/SiGe stack has small-sized (columnar) grains in the lower poly-SiGe layer and large-sized grains in the upper poly-Si layer. The new structure can suppress Ge diffusion into the upper poly-Si layer during CMOS process, resulting in enhanced current performance and better sheet resistance distribution to meet gate height scaling requirements of sub-0.1 /spl mu/m CMOSFETs. A mass productive 8 Mbit SRAM with both the smallest cell size and enhanced operation speed by 20% was successfully fabricated using the proposed poly-SiGe gate structure.
