This book was released on 2008 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades, silicon semiconductor devices have been dramatically scaled down to sub-100 nm MOSFET channel lengths in order to achieve higher device density and performance. In this regime, high-k dielectrics which can give large gate capacitances with dielectric films that are physically thicker than corresponding silicon oxide or oxynitride gate dielectrics are needed to reduce the substantial gate leakage current resulting from direct quantum mechanical tunneling across the dielectric layer.

This book was released on 2006-01-27 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of this book is to review at the nano and atomic scale the very complex scientific issues that pertain to the use of advanced high dielectric constant (high-k) materials in next generation semiconductor devices. One of the key obstacles to integrate this novel class of materials into Si nano-technology are the electronic defects in high-k dielectrics. It has been established that defects do exist in high-k dielectrics and they play an important role in device operation. The unique feature of this book is a special focus on the important issue of defects. The subject is covered from various angles, including silicon technology, processing aspects, materials properties, electrical defects, microstructural studies, and theory. The authors who have contributed to the book represents a diverse group of leading scientists from academic, industrial and governmental labs worldwide who bring a broad array of backgrounds (basic and applied physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, surface science, and materials science). The contributions to this book are accessible to both expert scientists and engineers who need to keep up with leading edge research, and newcomers to the field who wish to learn more about the exciting basic and applied research issues relevant to next generation device technology.

Book excerpt: The drive toward smaller and smaller electronic componentry has huge implications for the materials currently being used. As quantum mechanical effects begin to dominate, conventional materials will be unable to function at scales much smaller than those in current use. For this reason, new materials with higher electrical permittivity will be requ

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As transistors scale to their physical limits, germanium and silicon-germanium (SiGe) alloys are both promising candidate metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) channel materials to extend the roadmap. In this work, I used carefully-controlled atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes and a simple forming gas anneal (FGA), to form TiO2/Al2O3/Ge gate stacks with 0.65 nm EOT and low interface trap densities. For the first time, I applied bilayer gate dielectric stacks to Ge pMOSFETs with sub 1-nm EOT and a subthreshold swing (SS) as low as 71 mV/dec. For the first time, soft x-ray and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to rigorously study the formation of a GeO2 interface layer between an atomic layer deposited gate dielectric and a Ge(100) substrate during forming gas anneal (FGA). A new and simple method was demonstrated to selectively passivate interface traps with energies in the top half of the Ge band gap under annealing conditions that produce a GeO2 interface layer. I also describe how the sensitivity of the interface trap density in metal/Al2O3/Ge MOSCAPs is related to the nature of the H2/N2 anneal and the presence of a gate metal such as Pt that is effective in dissociating H2 to atomic hydrogen. The third part of this work focuses on SiGe substrates. Experiments show that, even though the native oxides of the SiGe channel are removed by 2% HF(aq)/ H2O cyclic cleans, a SiOx/GeOx interfacial layer is formed during Al2O3 ALD. Using Al as the gate metal instead of Pt, Al2O3/SiGe MOSCAPs show C-V curves with minimal frequency dispersion and much smaller Dit response. Experiments reveal that the Al-gate scavenges oxygen from the underlying GeOx, producting a SiOx/SiGe interface with much-reduced Dit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume explores and addresses the challenges of high-k gate dielectric materials, one of the major concerns in the evolving semiconductor industry and the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). The application of high-k gate dielectric materials is a promising strategy that allows further miniaturization of microelectronic components (or Moore's law). This book presents a broad review of SiO2 materials, including a brief historical note of Moore's law, followed by reliability issues of the SiO2 based MOS transistor. Then it discusses the transition of gate dielectrics with an EOT 1 nm and a selection of high-k materials. A review of the different deposition techniques of different high-k films is also discussed. High-k dielectrics theories (quantum tunneling effects and interface engineering theory) and applications of different novel MOSFET structures, like tunneling FET, are also covered in this book. The volume also looks at the important issues in the future of CMOS technology and presents an analysis of interface charge densities with the high-k material tantalum pentoxide. The issue of CMOS VLSI technology with the high-k gate dielectric materials is covered as is the advanced MOSFET structure, with its working, structure, and modeling. This timely volume addresses the challenges of high-k gate dielectric materials and will prove to be a valuable resource on both the fundamentals and the successful integration of high-k dielectric materials in future IC technology. Key features: Discusses the state-of-the-art in high-k gate dielectric research for MOSFET in the nanoelectronics regime Reviews high-k applications in advanced MOS transistor structures Considers CMOS IC fabrication with high-k gate dielectric materials"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As CMOS scaling is approaching the fundamental physical limits, a wide range of new nanoelectronic materials and devices have been proposed and explored to extend and/or replace the current electronic devices and circuits so as to maintain progress with respect to speed and integration density. The major limitations, including low carrier mobility, degraded subthreshold slope, and heat dissipation, have become more challenging to address as the size of silicon-based metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) has decreased to nanometers, while device integration density has increased. This book aims to present technical approaches that address the need for new nanoelectronic materials and devices. The focus is on new concepts and knowledge in nanoscience and nanotechnology for applications in logic, memory, sensors, photonics, and renewable energy. This research on nanoelectronic materials and devices will be instructive in finding solutions to address the challenges of current electronics in switching speed, power consumption, and heat dissipation and will be of great interest to academic society and the industry.
