X Abstract

A reliable tantalum (Ta)-gate device technology, which can drastically reduce the number of process steps, has been developed. Ta-gate fully-depleted-silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) MOSFETs with 0.15-μm gate length by low-temperature processing below 500°C after the gate oxide formation have good on/off characteristics. Comprehensive design guidelines for Ta-gate MOSFETs in the deep-submicrometer regime is provided by investigating a wide range of performance and reliability constraints on the process temperature and the SOI thickness. In the guideline, the recrystallization of the source/drain region gives inferior limits of the SOI thickness and the process temperature. Thermal reaction between Ta and SiO<sub>2</sub> films sets a superior limit of the process temperature, and a short-channel effect sets a superior limit of the SOI thickness

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
