Abstract

Advantage of La2O3 over HfO2 MOSFET has been experimentally examined. Silicate reaction especially observed at La 2C3/si interface has been found to suppress the formation of SiO2 layer to realize direct contact, which is useful for further scaling in equivalent oxide thickness (EOT). Due to the lack of interfacial layer, La2O3 has showed relatively high interfacial state density, however, the effective mobility has exceeded to that of HfO2 MOSFET. Mobility analysis has revealed an additional Coulomb scattering at small EOT, suggesting the influence of metal gate. A simple mobility degradation model is pointed out using metal induced defects.
