Abstract

We report for the first time on a novel dual-metal gate CMOS integration on HfO/sub 2/ gate dielectric using TiN (PMOS) and TaSiN (NMOS) gate electrodes. Compared to a single metal integration, the dual-metal integration does not degrade gate leakage, mobility and charge trapping behavior. Promising preliminary TDDB data were obtained from dual-metal gate MOSFETs, while still delivering much improved gate leakage (10/sup 4/ - 10/sup 5/ X better than SiO/sub 2/).
