  2. Questions at issue • How long can HfO2 be used? • How to find the road to higher-k, higher offset dielectrics? • Problems in connection with bulk and SOI

  3. HfO2

  4. High-k Metal Gate Ni HfO2 Si Tyndall : e-beam evaporation Liverpool: MoCVD, ALD Chalmers: Reactive sputtering, ALD AMO: MBE & metallization AMO, Liverpool, Chalmers and Tyndall

  11. The road to higher k and higher band offset values

  12. Scaling problem of the bulk MOSFET: Shorter channel length requires increased doping under the channel whichrequires higher capacitive coupling between gate and channel which in turn requires thinner gate insulator material

  22. Silicon thickness for FD DG SOI MOSFETs in the 22 nm LSTP node La2O3 tSi [nm] Gd2O3 HfO2 SiO2 Lg/l

  24. Summary High-k for the 22 nm LSTP node • Bulk: • So far only La2O3, LaAlO3 seem to pass • SOI: • SiO2 cannot be used neither for DG nor GAA • Probably HfO2 can be used for GAA • For DG La2O3 seems to be necessary, but Gd2O3 may be an alternative Brask-lapp: Things may change!
