N-type Mo gate Φm (∼4.2 eV) was achieved on a HfLaO gate dielectric even after 950-°C rapid thermal annealing (RTA) due to the presence of a La-induced interface dipole layer. By alloying with ∼14%-19% of aluminum (Al), the effective Mo gate Φm on HfLaO significantly increased by ∼0.6 eV after 950-°C RTA. The incorporation of Al into the HfLaO gate dielectric was evident after the high-temperature anneal. The Φm modulation was attributed to Al-induced interface dipole formation, of which has opposite polarity to the La-induced dipole, at the high-κ/SiO2 interface. This novel concept of employing two opposing interface dipoles in the same metal gate/high-κ stack for Φm tunability would provide insights for future gate stack interface engineering. © 2008 IEEE. | Source Title: | IEEE Electron Device Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/82717 | ISSN: | 07413106 | DOI: | 10.1109/LED.2008.2000997 |
