Abstract
Gate-first (GF) high-k metal gate (HKMG) for LSTP/LOP logic and DRAM periphery applications requires an efficient and low-cost effective work function (eWF) solution. We demonstrated TiAlN for pFET eWF tuning without appreciable EOT, Jg, and interface degradation. Hence TiAlN is shown to be a key enabler to realize process-friendly and cost-effective GF HKMG implementation.
