Impact of Nitrogen (N ) Implantation into Polysilicon Gate on High-Performance Dual-Gate CMOS Transistors

چکیده
The effect of nitrogen (N14) implant into dual-doped polysilicon gates was investigated. The electrical characteristics of sub-0.25m dual-gate transistors (both pand n-channel), MOS capacitor quasi-static C V curve, SIMS profile, poly-Si gate Rs, and oxide Qbd were compared at different nitrogen dose levels. A nitrogen dose of 5 10 cm 2 is the optimum choice at an implant energy of 40 KeV in terms of the overall performance of both pand n-MOSFET’s and the oxide Qbd. The suppression of boron penetration is confirmed by the SIMS profiles to be attributed to the retardation effect in bulk polysilicon with the presence of nitrogen. High nitrogen dose (1 10 cm ) results in poly depletion and increase of sheet resistance in both unsilicided and silicided p poly, degrading the transistor performance. Under optimum design, nitrogen implantation into poly-Si gate is effective in suppressing boron penetration without degrading performance of either por n-channel transistors.

We discuss the possibility of developing high-quality oating-gate memories and circuits in digital CMOS technologies that have only one layer of polysilicon.
