Abstract
Plasma-based PH3 passivation technique is extensively studied for the surface passivation of InGaAs substrate prior to high-κ deposition. The comparative analysis reveals that the striking improvement is achieved when a stable covalent-bond PxNy layer forms at the interface during plasma PH3-passivation. We report that PxNy passivation layer improves thermal stability of high-k/InGaAs gate stack up to 750°C, which enables successful implementation of InGaAs MOSFETs by self-aligned gate-first process. By adopting PxNy passivation on InGaAs with MOCVD HfAlO and metal gate stack, we achieved subthreshold slope of 98mV/dec, G m=378mS/mm at Vd=1V, and effective mobility of 2557cm2/Vs at Eeff=0.24MV/cm. © 2009 IEEE.
