由图 1可见, 当在 TiN- 1膜和 TiN-2膜之间加入 3nm A1膜后, 平带电压 (VFB) 向正方向大幅度移动, VFB的增加量为 0. 135V, 表明 PM0S器件的有效栅功函数得到大 幅度增加, 满足了 PM0S器件对栅功函数的要求。而且掺 A1样品的栅介质等效厚度大 幅度减薄 (电容增大), 从 34埃减薄到 23埃, 这对提高器件驱动能力和增强栅控能 力都十分有利。 参数见表 1。
由图 2可见, 对同样的 A1薄膜厚度 (3nm), TiN- 1膜的厚度不同, 平带电压向 正方向移动的幅度不同, TiN- 1膜的厚度需要优化, 如薄了, 栅漏电会增加, 见图 2 中 TiN- 1为 2nm样品的 C- V特性可知。 如厚了, 栅功函数调节能力减弱, 见图 2中 TiN-1为 4nm样品的 C- V特性可知。 TiN- 1为 3議样品的 C V特性较好, 没有漏电, 且平带电压也更大些。表 2给出了 TiN- 1膜厚度不同的样品的特征参数比较, 其电极 结构同为 Poly- Si/TaN/TiN- 1/A1 3誦 /TiN- 2/Hf SiA10N/Si02
