Compatibility of polycrystalline silicon gate deposition with HfO2 and Al2O3/HfO2 gate dielectrics

Polycrystalline-silicon (poly-Si) gate compatibility issues with HfO2 and Al2O3 capped HfO2 gate dielectrics are reported. It can be generally stated that chemical vapor deposition (CVD) silicon gates using silane deposited directly onto HfO2 results in electrical properties much worse compared to similar HfO2 films using platinum metal gates. However, depositing CVD silicon gates directly onto Al2O3 capped HfO2 showed greater than a 104 times reduction in gate leakage compared to the poly-Si/HfO2 and poly-Si/SiO2 controls of similar electrical thickness.
