With the MOsES (mask oxide sidewall etch scheme)process which uses the conventional i-line stepper and isotropic wet etching, CMOSFET's with fine gate pattern of 0.1.mu.m CMOSFET device, the screening oxide is deposited before the low energy ion implantation for source/drain extensions and two step sidewall scheme is adopted. Through the characterization of 0.1.mu.m CMOSFET device, it is found that the screening oxide deposition sheme has larger capability of suppressing the short channel effects than two step sidewall schem. In cse of 200.angs.-thick screening oxide deposition, both NMOSFET and PMOSFET maintain good subthreshold characteristics down to 0.1.mu.m effective channel lengths, and show affordable drain saturation current reduction and low impact ionization rates.

본 논문에서는 Dual oxide를 갖는 Nano-scale CMOSFET에서 각 소자의 Hot carrier 특성을 분석하여 두 가지 중요한 결과를 나타내었다. 하나는 NMOSFET Thin/Thick인 경우 CHC stress 보다는 DAHC stress에 의한 소자 열화가 지배적이고, Hot electron이 중요하게 영향을 미치고 있는 반면에, PMOSFET에서는 특히 Hot hole에 의한 영향이 주로 나타나고 있다는 것이다. 다른 하나는, Thick MOSFET인 경우 여전히 NMOSFET의 수명이 PMOSFET의 수명에 비해 작지만, Thin MOSFET에서는 오히려 PMOSFET의 수명이 NMOSFET보다 작다는 것이다. 이러한 분석결과는 Charge pumping current 측정을 통해 간접적으로 확인하였다. 따라서 Nano-scale CMOSFET에서의 NMOSFET보다는 PMOSFET에 대한 Hot camel lifetime 감소에 관심을 기울여야 하며, Hot hole에 대한 연구가 진행되어야 한다고 할 수 있다.

In this paper, Ni-Co alloy was used for improvement of thermal stability of Ni silicide. The proposed Ni/Ni-Co structure exhibited wide temperature window of rapid thermal process. Sheet resistance as well as cross-sectional profile showed stable characteristics in spite of high temperature annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30min. Therefore, the proposed Ni/Ni-Co structure is highly promising for highly thermal immune Ni silicide for nano-scale CMOSFET technology.

In this paper, two kinds of initial oxidation methods i.e., SLTO(Slow Low Temperature Oxidation: $700^{\circ}C$) and RTO(Rapid Thermal Oxidation: $850^{\circ}C$) are applied prior to the plasma nitridation for ultra thin oxide of RPNO (Remote Plasma Nitrided Oxide). It is observed that SLTO has superior characteristics to RTO such as lower SS(Sub-threshold Slope) and improved Ion-Ioff characteristics. Low frequency noise characteristics of SLTO also showed better than RTO both in linear and saturation regime. It is shown that flicker noise is dominated by carrier number fluctuation in the channel region. Therefore, SLTO is promising for nano-scale CMOS technology with ultra thin gate oxide.

In this paper, thermal stability of Ni-silicide formed on the SOI substrate with $B_{11}$ has been characterized. The sheet resistance of Ni-silicide on un-doped SOI and $B_{11}$ implanted bulk substrate was increased after the post-silicidation annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. However, in case of $B_{11}$ implanted SOI substrate, the sheet resistance showed stable characteristics after the post-silicidation annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The main reason of the excellent property of $B_{11}$ sample is believed to be the retardation of Ni diffusion by the boron and bottom oxide layer of SOI. Therefore, retardation of Ni diffusion is highly desirable lot high performance Ni silicide technology.

In this paper, we investigated the dependence of HCI (Hot Carrier Immunity) degradation and device performance on channel orientation in sub-micron PMOSFET. Although device performance ($I_{D.sat}$ vs. $I_{Off}$) was improved as the transistor angle increased HC immunity was degraded. Therefore, consideration of reliability characteristics as well as dc device performance is highly necessary in channel stress engineering of next generation CMOSFETs.

In this paper, the Ni-Co alloy was used for thermal stability estimation comparison with Ni structure. The proposed Ni/Ni-Co structure exhibited wider range of rapid thermal process windows, lower sheet resistance in spite of high temperature annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, more uniform interface via FE-SEM analysis, NiSi phase peak. Therefore, The proposed Ni/Ni-Co structure is highly promising for highly thermal immune Ni-silicide for nano-scale MOSFET technology.

본 논문에서는 채널 stress에 따른 Nano-scale CMOSFET의 소자 및 신뢰성 (HCI, NBTI)특성을 분석하였다. 잘 알려져 있듯이 NMOS는 tensile, PMOS는 compressive stress가 인가된 경우에 소자의 특성이 개선되었으며, 이는 전자와 정공의 이동도 증가에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 그러나 신뢰성인 경우에는 소자 특성과는 다른 특성을 나타냈는데, NMOS와 PMOS 모두 tensile stress가 인가된 경우에 hot carrier 특성이 더 열화 되었으며, PMOS의 PBTI 특성도 tensile에서 더 열화 되었음을 확인하였다. 신뢰성을 분석한 결과, 채널의 tensile stress로 인하여 $Si/SiO_2$ 계면에서 interface trap charge의 생성과 산화막 내 positive fixed charge의 생성에 많은 영향을 끼침을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 나노급 CMOSFET에 적용되는 strained-silicon MOSFET의 개발을 위해서는 소자의 성능 뿐 만 아니라 신뢰성 또한 고려되어야 한다.
