Abstract
This paper reports on the successful integration of truly diffusion-less (less-than-650/spl deg/C) junction formation by SPER in pMOSFETs in combination with Ni-FUSI gates for the first time. The obtained drive currents are 355 /spl mu/A//spl mu/m for an off-state of 10 /spl mu/A//spl mu/m at Vdd= -1.2V and 1.4nm EOT SiON. We demonstrate that the gate de-activation problem associated with SPER is effectively solved by the use of the FUSI gate electrode. Super halo profiles are obtained with SPER, which opens up the halo design space for accurate SCE control. The junction leakage is greatly reduced by engineering the damage region away from the junction depletion region.
