A refinement of an analytical approximation of the surface potential in MOSFETs is proposed by introducing a high-order term. As compared to the conventional treatment with accuracy between 1nV and 0. 03mV in the cases with an oxide thickness tox = 1 ~ 10nm and substrate doping concentration Na = 1015 ~ 1018 cm-3 , this method yields an accuracy within about 1pV in all cases. This is comparable to numerical simulations, but does not require trading off much computation efficiency. More importantly, the spikes in the error curve associated with the traditional treatment are eliminated.
针对纳米PMOS器件超浅结工艺面临的硼扩散问题,开展了预非晶化与激光退火和碳共注入结合的超浅结实验,通过透射式电子显微镜(TEM),二次离子质谱(SIMS),扩展电阻法(SRP)等测试对超浅结特性进行评估。结果表明,采用激光退火和碳共注入的方式可有效抑制硼扩散和减小结深。锗预非晶化后5 ke V,1×10^(15)/cm^2条件下注入的硼在激光退火(波长532 nm、脉冲宽度小于20 ns、能量密度0.25 J/cm^2)中的再扩散量非常小,退火后结深较注入结深仅增加6 nm,但激活率仅为24%。相同的硼掺杂条件下采用碳的共注入,常规快速热退火下的结深较未注碳样品减小49%,而且实现了84%的硼激活率。在单项实验基础上,进一步将预非晶化和碳共注入技术应用于纳米尺度器件制作,实验制备了亚50 nm PMOS器件,器件在Vdd=-1.2 V时的电流开关比大于104,亚阈值斜率为100 m V/dec,漏致势垒降低(DIBL)值为104 m V/V。
