Abstract

An Mo gate work function control technique which uses annealing or N+ ion implantation has been reported by Ranade et al. We have fabricated Mo-gate MOS diodes, based on their report, with 5-20 nm SiO2 and found that the gate leakage current was increased as the N+ implantation dose and implantation energy were increased. Although a work function shift was observed in the C-V characteristics, a hump caused by high-density interface states was found for high-dose specimens. Nevertheless, a work function shift larger than -1V was achieved. However, nitrogen concentration at the Si surface was about 1x1020 cm-3 for the specimen with a large work function shift.
