Abstract
We have fabricated combinatorial Ni-Ti-Pt ternary metal gate thin film libraries on HfO2 using magnetron co-sputtering, to investigate flat-band voltage shift (DVfb) and leakage current density (JL) variations. Wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) results show that over 90% 1% of Ni and Ti, and 75% 1% of Pt were attained in the library. A more negative DVfb is observed close to the Ti-rich corner than close to the Ni- and Pt-rich corners, implying smaller Fm near the Ti-rich corners and higher Fm near Ni- and Pt-rich corners. In addition, measured JL values are consistent with the observed DVfb variations.Citation
