Temperature control for the gate workfunction engineering of TiC film by atomic layer deposition
2015
Abstract The effects of the deposition temperature on titanium carbide film formed by atomic layer deposition are investigated for gate workfunction (WF) engineering. As the deposition temperature increases from 250 °C to 500 °C, the WF of the TiC decreases from 5.24 eV to 4.45 eV. This WF dependency on the deposition temperature is mainly attributed to the average WF of each orientation of the sub-planes of the TiC film. An investigation of a tunable WF is conducted through Auger electron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction.
