Researchers are looking for ways to continue the trend of scaling by using alternative materials such as Ge and III-V compound semiconductors that could out-perform Sibased CMOS. Although significant progress is made on InGaAs MOSFETs with ALD high-k dielectrics (Al 2 O 3, HfO 2, HfAlO, and ZrO 2 ), GaAs MOSFETs remain a big challenge, mostly showing minuscule drain currents. In this paper, we report on the strong dependence of the electrical properties on different GaAs surface orientations. (111)A Ga polar surface is much more forgiving in terms of Fermi-level pinning for n-channel GaAs MOSFET as shown in Fig.1, compared to (100) Ga-As non-polar surface. It might be directly related with ALD surface chemistry and could be explained by the trap neutral level model. In order to further scale down the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of dielectrics, the integration of ALD higher-k (LaLuO 3 ) on GaAs was systematically studied. The precursors lanthanum tris(n,n'-diisopropylformidinate), and lutetium tris(n,n'-diethylformamidinate) reacted with water vapor at 350 o C. The dielectric structures are shown in Fig.2. Fig. 3 shows multi-frequency CV characteristics on n-type and p- type MOS capacitors on GaAs (100) surface with 2 nm Al 2 O 3 /8 nm LaLuO 3 / as composite dielectric (structure A in Fig. 2). The observed frequency dispersion at accumulation capacitance is comparable to that of pure ALD Al 2 O 3. Meanwhile, LaLuO 3 with k = 25 to 30 provides a significant advantage in capacitance values. The work verifies the potential to integrate ALD higher-k dielectrics on III-V and deliver 1-2 nm EOT dielectrics by ALD for aggressively scaled ultimate CMOS technology.

Outline Motivation Brief results on ALD Al 2 O 3 /GaAs(111)A MOSFET ALD Higher-k LaLuO 3 deposition process ALD Higher-k k LaLuO 3 on GaAs (111)A and (100) surfaces --- 4 different MIS structures are used to investigate Summary

Motivation 1. Traditional III-V: high frequency and/or high power applications; New III-V thrust: high performance logic applications Si based CMOS scaling is going to be end in 2015. For 22 nm technology node beyond, it requires novel channel materials such as III-V and high-k 2. The advantage of III-V as channel materials is high electron mobility. 3. Advantage of ALD high-k: --- commercial ALD tools are available --- ALD self-cleaning effect on III-V --- significant progress on III-V MOSFET in the past 3-5 years using ALD --- easy transfer to Si CMOS platform Si MOSFET (Intel) Si strained Si bulk Ge GaAs GaN InP In0.53Ga0.47As InAs InSb μe 400 1,000 3,900 8,500 1,250 5,400 8,000 20,000 30,000 μh 160 240 1,800 400 850 200 300 500 800 Eg (ev) 1.1 1.1 0.66 1.42 3.4 1.35 0.72 0.36 0.18

New Solution : our results on GaAs(111)A (next slide) Alternatives: (1) In-rich InGaAs (see recent work by Purdue, Intel, IBM, NTHU, UCSB ) Potential issue: narrow bandgap material, band-to-band tunneling, (2) Si interfacial control layer or SiH 4 passivation on GaAs (see recent work by UT Austin, Intel, SUNY Albany, IBM, NUS, UT Dallas,.)
