The instability of MOS devices is mainly caused by the oxide charges, and as the need to develop the gate metal grows researches for various new metal gate have been performed, and in these researches, the difference work function existing between the metal and the semiconductor should be considered. Here int his paper, the device is made by the sputtering and the LPCVD method using pure Al, compound metal. poly-si, as a gate metal, the result of the research was shown that the work function difference from using different gate metals effects on the flatband voltage shift. This means we can infer that the threshold voltage adjustment is possible by using different gate metals and this whole mechanism makes the devices behavior more stable.

In this work, we have investigated the characteristics of 4H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices with silicon oxynitride (SiON) insulator using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). After post metallization annealing, the trap densities of the fabricated devices decreased significantly. In particular, the device annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ in forming gas ambient exhibited excellent MOS characteristics along with negligible hysteresis, which proved the potential of PECVD SiON as an alternative gate insulator for use in 4H-SiC MOS device.

Pt nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution (dia. ~4 nm) were synthesized via an alcohol reduction method and used for the fabrication of hybrid Pt-$SiO_2$ nanoparticles. Also, the self-assembled monolayer of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) was studied as a charge trapping layer for non-volatile memory (NVM) applications. A metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) type memory device with Pt NPs exhibits a relatively large memory window. These results indicate that the self-assembled Pt NPs can be utilized for NVM devices. In addition, it was tried to show the control of thin-film thickness of hybrid Pt-$SiO_2$ nanoparticles indicating the possibility of much applications for the MOS type memory devices.

In this paper, MOS devices with ultrathin gate dielectrics (5.5 nm) are characterized and compared with those with conventional oxides particularly for nanoscale CMOS applications. Nitrogen concentrations and profiles in the nitride gate dielectrics were obtained that will play an important role in improving both hot-carrier lifetime and resistance to boron penetration. This approach seems very useful for future nanoscale CMOS device applications.

A substrate network model characterizing substrate effect of submicron MOS transistors for RF operation and its parameter extraction with physically meaningful values are presented. The proposed substrate network model includes a single resistance and inductance originated from ring-type substrate contacts around active devices. Model parameters are extracted from S-parameter data measured from common-bulk configured MOS transistors with floating gate and use where needed with out any optimization. The proposed modeling technique has been applied to various-sized MOS transistors. Excellent agreement the measurement data and the simulation results using extracted substrate network model up to 30GHz.

As the packing density of IC devices gets ever higher, the thickness of the gate $SiO_2$ layer of the MOS devices is now required to be reduced down to 1 nm. For such a thin $SiO_2$ layer, the MOS device cannot operate properly because of tunneling current and threshold voltage shift. Hence there has been much effort to develop new dielectric materials which have higher dielectric constants than $SiO_2$ and is free from such undesirable effects. In this work, the physical and electrical characteristics of ALD $ZrO_2$ film have been studied. After deposition of a thin ALD $ZrO_2$ film, it went through thermal treatment in the presence of argon gas at $800^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. The characteristics of morphology, crystallization kinetics, and interfacial layer of $Pt/ZrO_2/Si$ samples have been investigated by using the analyzing instruments like XRD, TEM and C-V plots. It has been found that the characteristics of the $Pt/ZrO_2/Si$ device was enhanced by the thermal treatment.

With the MOS device scailing down, the substrate concentration must increase in order to avoid punchthrough leakage current due to the DIBL(Drain Induced Barrier Lowering) effect. However the enhancement of the substrate concentration increases source, drain juntion capacitances and substrate current due to hot elelctron, degrading the speed characteristics and reliability of the MOS devices. In this paper, a new device, called CODE(Channel Only Dopant Enhancement) MOS, an its fabrication are proposed. By comparing the fabricated CODE MOSFET with the conventional device, the improvements on DIBL, substrate current and source, drain juntion capacitances are realized.

Tungsten silicide(WSi$_2$) is proposed for the alternate gate electrode of ULSI MOS devices. Good structural property and low resistivity of WSi$_2$ deposited by a low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) method directly on SiO$_2$ is obtained after annealing. Especially, WSi$_2$-SiO2 interface remains flat after annealing tungsten silicide at high temperature. Electrical characteristics of annealed WSi$_2$-SiO$_2$-Si(MOS) capacitors were improved in view of charge trapping.

The capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of poly-Si gate MOS devices fabricated by Low-Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) system have been studied. In the case poly-Si gate, work function difference and surface state charge density was found lower than that of Al gate. This fact was identified from the C-V curves that flatband shift was shown small due to the hydrogen gas diffused into oxide in processing of alloy and the annealing effect in processing of poly-Si deposition.
