Abstract

The development of wet-etch chemistries using standard fab chemicals and tools has been studied to successfully integrate dual work function metal gate CMOS. Candidate gate materials studied were TiN, Ta, TaN and TaSiN. Two hard mask materials, amorphous silicon (am-Si) and TEOS, and two gate dielectric films, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) HfO 2 and HfSi xO y, were also studied for their etch selectivity to various chemical formulations. In addition, some preliminary electrical results of devices processed using this wet-etch module have been reported here.
