Abstract: We report for the first time a thermally stable and high quality HfN/HfO 2 gate stack for advanced CMOS applications. Due to the superior oxygen diffusion barrier of HfN as well as the thermal stability of HfN/HfO 2 interface, the EOT of HfN/HfO 2 gate stack has been successfully scaled down to less than 10Å with excellent leakage, boron penetration immunity, and long-term reliability even after 1000°C RTA treatment for 20sec., without using surface nitridation prior to HfO 2 deposition. The mobility is improved significantly for devices without surface nitridation. Negligible change in both EOT and the work function of HfN/HfO 2 gate stack are observed after 1000°C RTA.
