This paper reports a newly developed fabrication process for monolithic integration of thermally stable InAlAs/InGaAs/InP E/D-HEMTs based on Ir-gate and Ag-ohmic contact technologies. The Ir-gate and Ag-ohmic contacts were annealed simultaneously after passivation using a SiNx layer. Both integrated E/D-HEMTs with gate-length of 0.2 mum demonstrated excellent DC and RF characteristics

In this work, we examined the Schottky-barrier height modulation of NiSi by the incorporation of aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), erbium (Er), and ytterbium (Yb) in NiSi to form different NiSi-alloys. Among the NiSi-alloy candidates investigated, it was found that the NiAl-alloy silicide provides the most effective Schottky-barrier height lowering (~250 meV) on n-Si(001) substrates. Integration of NiAl-alloy silicides as the source and drain (S/D) silicide material for multiple-gate transistors (MuGFETs) was explored, and shown to deliver a drive current IDsat enhancement of 34% compared to MuGFETs employing NiSi S/D. We further showed that the novel NiAl-alloy silicidation process is compatible with lattice-mismatched silicon-carbon (SiC) S/D stressors. NiAl-alloy silicide is therefore a promising S/D silicide material for reducing the high parasitic series resistance in narrow fin MuGFETs for enhanced device performance

We present a 45-nm SOI CMOS technology that features: i) aggressive ground-rule (GR) scaling enabled by 1.2NA/193nm immersion lithography, ii) high-performance FET response enabled by the integration of multiple advanced strain and activation techniques, iii) a functional SRAM with cell size of 0.37mum2, and iv) a porous low-k (k=2.4) dielectric for minimized back-end wiring delay. The list of FET-specific performance elements includes enhanced dual-stress liner (DSL), advanced eSiGe, stress memorization (SMT), and advanced anneal (AA). The resulting PFET/NFET Idsat values, at Vdd of 1.0V and 45nm GR gate pitch, are 840muA/mum and 1240muA/mum respectively. The global wiring delay achieved with k=2.4 reflects a 20% reduction compared to k=3.0

High performance LSTP CMISFETs with poly-Si/TiN hybrid gate and high-k dielectric have been studied. Gate depletion is successfully suppressed by in-situ phosphorus doped poly-Si gate for NMIS and by TiN metal gate for PMIS. Vth control for pMIS is accomplished by fluorine implantation into substrate. Optimization of HfSiON formation and TiN removal process is the key to achieve high-reliability. It is demonstrated that this cost-worthy process provides performance which is competitive to reported dual metal CMOS

A novel Si MOS-LED is demonstrated, which is fully compatible with Si technology. It is based on a dislocation network fabricated by wafer direct bonding. Light emission at 1.5 μm was observed when the network was near the Si/SiO2 interface close to/inside the accumulation layer induced by the gate voltage

With copper contact technology, CMOS front-end yield and reliability are governed by the quality of the contact barrier stack. Poor barrier quality gives rise to yield loss in junctions and gate dielectrics, and reduced time-to-breakdown with characteristic breakdown signature. Failure analysis reveals the presence of copper silicide as the underlying cause, its impact depending on the exact location of the affected region. With optimized barrier there is no indication for copper related front-end yield and reliability problems

Parasitic effects and Matthiessen's rule have been reinvestigated in the inversion layer mobility analysis. It is shown that an advanced split C-V technique newly developed is very useful for characterizing the intrinsic inversion layer mobility in short channel MOSFETs, even with very large parasitic effects.

The short length effect on the electromigration (EM) lifetime is a valuable resource to increase current limits in advanced circuits. We model the effect with variable (current density j sensitive) current exponent n for short leads and calculate how much lifetime margin should be observed for a certain EM rule relaxation. The shorter leads have larger (variable) n so that the EM lifetime decreases faster as the current density increases. We utilize an empirical relationship for the dependence of n on j, which includes a parameter nBS for short leads. We find that to achieve a 2times EM rule relaxation, we must confirm > 25times EM lifetime for nBS = 3 and > 125times for nBS = 5. We illustrate an empirical approach for determining nBS

Time-dependent capacitance-density (CD) increase and linearity degradations of HfAlO-MIM capacitors by constant voltage stress were demonstrated for the first time. It was found that extrapolated CD increase after 10 years strongly depends on Al concentration in HfAlO dielectric. Accordingly, Al concentration of more than 14 at.% is required to keep CD increase below 1%. It was also found that the CD increase and linearity degradations (temperature and frequency) originate from the dielectric-loss increase and that the relationships between these parameters quantitatively agree with Gevers' model

A novel method for realizing arrays of vertically stacked (e.g., times3 wires stacked) laterally spread out nanowires is presented for the first time using a fully Si-CMOS compatible process. The gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET devices using these nanowire arrays show excellent performance in terms of near ideal sub-threshold slope (<70 mV/dec), high Ion/Ioff ratio (~107), and low leakage current. Vertical stacking economizes on silicon estate and improves the on-state IDSAT at the same time. Both n- and p-FET devices are demonstrated
