N2 - Systematic analysis of the influence of nitrogen on the work function of TaN, HfN, and HfTiN was performed. It was observed that the effective work function of these materials could be modulated by ∼300 meV by varying the nitrogen content in the film even after 1000°C anneal. Additionally, there is minimal observable influence of high nitrogen flow rates during the plasma deposition of metal nitrides on the integrity of the hafnium based high-k dielectrics.
