摘要
The impact of aluminum ion implantation (Al I/I) on the 1/\(f\) noise and random telegraph noise (RTN) characteristics of high-(k)/metal gate (HK/MG) pMOSFETs is investigated. The Al I/I technology was implemented to tune the effective work function (EWF) of pMOSFETs without increasing the equivalent oxide thickness and complicating the process. The RTN and 1(f) noise results showed that irrespective of the implanted dose, the HK/MG devices with Al I/I still exhibit lower slow oxide trap densities for the control device, because the Al filled the defect and formed a thin Al2O3 layer. In addition, for the HK/MG devices with different implanted doses, no significant differences in the trap properties are noted. However, the modulated EWF can be attributed to the Al I/I-induced dipoles at the HfO2/SiO2 interface.
