金氧半場效電晶體製程技術微縮進入奈米等級時,電晶體元件之性能已無法只靠單純的縮小閘極長度來提升。製程技術與物理極限上的種種限制,如曝光波長的影響、可靠度的考量、閘極氧化層太薄所導致嚴重的閘極漏電問題,都會增加金氧半場效電晶體向下微縮的困難。
為了增進元件性能,提昇載子的移動率,應變工程(Strain engineering)已漸成為先進元件開發的必要技術。本論文中對應變工程影響元件性能與可靠性做了更完整的探討。首度提出數種新的先進應變工程方法與材料,並研究它們對對元件特性行為之影響,諸如指狀閘極元件特性,可靠度變化與截止頻率與最大震動頻率之變化。
此外,本研究將吾人由實驗探討的先進應變工程(Strain engineering)配合TCAD模擬各種狀態下應力之變化,驗證其增進元件性能同時平衡NMOS及PMOS元件之特性。因為對互補式金氧半場效電晶體而言,所採用的先進應變工程方法必須能平衡NMOS及PMOS元件之特性,否則將會造成無法應用於IC電路設計或是增加製程複雜度的困擾。
最後,雷射退火(Laser anneal)應用於超淺接面工程(USJ)亦是奈米級先進電晶體元件開發必要技術之一,在此我們也提出雷射退火技術合併傳統快速回火(RTP)技術之最佳化製程,完全符合奈米級先進電晶體元件製程在元件性能上的需求,可同時達到元件最佳特性與可靠度特性。
In this dissertation, we study the impact of strain engineering and USJ (ultra shallow junction) technology by Laser anneal on nano meter scale MOSFETs performances in details. The study is divided into four parts: First, investigate the impact of CESL strain on device characteristic and reliability for CMOSFET , including (a) effects of the poly gate finger pitch on Ion , (b) hot carrier induced threshold voltage shift, (c) cut off frequency (fT) and maximum oscillation frequency(fmax) of the 40 nm n-channel MOSFETs with CESL strain and multi-finger gate structures.
Second, the impact of CESL strain on input/output (I/O) p-type MOSFETs under a dual-gate-oxide CMOS process. The process is fully compatible with conventional CMOS processing. The CESL strain (tensile / compressive ) induces Vth (threshold voltage) shift, which has become a crucial challenge in designing an advanced analog or mixed signal circuits.
Third, to investigate the latter strained silicon technology of SMT (stress-memory-technique) process, which meet the nMOSFET aggressive performance goal for new device node, but degrades the pMOSFET performance at the same time. In this work, mechanisms of pMOSFET degradation and improvement by SMT film optimization have been studied in details.
Finally, we investigated the USJ optimization by Laser anneal combining RTP anneal systematically. The origins of the obvious Vth shift (ΔVth ) in the 40 nm p-MOSFET with conventional RTP C-anneal for activation S/D implant dopant are investigated and attributed to the LSA deteriorated NBTI reliability.
By moving the RTP step to before the LSA step, the obvious VthH shift (ΔVth ) could be suppressed to almost same as the RTP only anneal. Best of all, the sequence change almost didn’t affect on the gain in driving current of the RTP/LSA C-anneal over the RTP only. Therefore, the developed method has the high potential for future deep nano CMOS technologies applications.
