ALD High-k as a Common Gate Stack Solution for Nano-electronics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scaling of silicon-based MOSFET technology beyond the 22 nm node is challenging. Further progress requires new materials, innovative structures, and even novel device concepts. All the emergent channel materials need perfect top-gate dielectric stacks in order to sustain their potential device performance. ALD high-k as a common gate stack solution finds itself very successfully integrated with these novel channel materials such as Ge, III-V, different nanowires, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and newly discovered all oxide electronic materials.

A Novel Hybrid Nano Scale MOSFET Structure for Low Leak Application
In this paper, novel hybrid MOSFET(HMOS) structure has been proposed to reduce the gate leakage current drastically. This novel hybrid MOSFET (HMOS) uses source/drain-to-gate non-overlap region in combination with high-K layer/interfacial oxide as gate stack. The extended S/D in the non-overlap region is induced by fringing gate electric field through the high-k dielectric spacer. The gate leak...

In this work, the low-temperature process steps required for the realization of nano-crystal non-volatile memory cells are discussed. An amorphous silicon film, crystallized using a diode pumped solid state green laser irradiating at 532 nm, is proposed as an active layer. The deposition of the subsequent functional layers (e.g., gate oxide) can be done using CVD and ALD reactors in a cluster t...
