Abstract

We have achieved a remarkably wide range (∼1.2 V) of differences in flatband voltage (Vfb) by using a combination of metal alloy (Pt-W)/La2O3 gate stacks. The controllable range is about 3 times greater than that of Hf-based gate stacks. The wide range of V fb can be maintained even after annealing in forming gas and oxidizing gas ambients. We consider that this is attributed to charge transfer at the Pt-La2O3 interfaces inducing increase in the effective work functions, especially at high Pt composition ratios. We believe that La2O3 is one of the most promising high-k dielectric materials for future CMOS devices in 32nm-node and beyond. copyright The Electrochemical Society.
