The effects of process condition of top-TiN and TaN thickness on the effective work function of MOSCAP with high-k/metal gate stacks

Abstract: We introduced a TaN/TiAl/top-TiN triple-layer to modulate the effective work function of a TiN-based metal gate stack by varying the TaN thickness and top-TiN technology process. The results show that a thinner TaN and PVD-process top-TiN capping provide smaller effective work function (EW...

Abstract Abstract: We introduced a TaN/TiAl/top-TiN triple-layer to modulate the effective work function of a TiN-based metal gate stack by varying the TaN thickness and top-TiN technology process. The results show that a thinner TaN and PVD-process top-TiN capping provide smaller effective work function (EWF), and a thicker TaN and ALD-process top-TiN capping provides a larger EWF; here, the EWF shifts are from 4.25 to 4.56 eV. A physical understanding of the dependence of the EWF on the top-TiN technology process and TaN thickness is proposed. Compared with PVD-TiN room temperature process, the ALD-TiN 400 ℃ process provides more thermal budget. It would also promote more Al atoms to diffuse into the top-TiN rather than the bottom-TiN. Meanwhile, the thicker TaN prevents the Al atoms diffusing into the bottom-TiN. These facts induce the EWF to increase.
