Abstract

This paper summarizes and analyzes some of our previous works on the advanced gate stacks for CMOS transistors focused on the following two topics: 1. Frequency dependence of Dynamic Bias Temperature Instability (DBTI) and the transistor degradation mechanism, 2. A novel way for metal gate Effective Work Function (EWF) modulation by incorporation of lanthanum elements in HfO2 gate dielectric.
