Abstract

Ta(Si)N films deposited by thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) have been investigated as potential gate electrode materials in advanced CMOS devices. The work function (Φ _m) of these films was determined by high-frequency capacitance-voltage measurements (HF-CV) on a thickness series of ALD HfO ₂. Depositing films at 400 and 500°C with an optimized pulse sequence, two films with Si content of 3 and 8 at%, respectively, were studied. Both Ta(Si)N films gave Φ _m of 4.7 ± 0.1 eV, also after high-temperature thermal treatments, with the 400°C deposition giving more reliable electrical performance.
