dc.description.abstract | This brief focuses on the physical characteristics of three dielectric films which can induce a significant degree of tensile or compressive stress in the channel of a sub-90-nm node MOS structure. Manufacturable and highly reliable oxide films have demonstrated, based on simulation, the ability to induce greater than 1.5-GPa tensile stress in the Si channel, when used as shallow trench isolation (STI) fill. Low–temperatureblanketnitridefilmswithastressrangeof2GPacompressiveto greater than 1.4 GPa tensile were also developed to enhance performance in both PMOS and NMOS devices. Combined with a tensile first interlayer dielectric film, the stress management and optimization of the above films can yield significant performance improvement without additional cost, or integration complexities. | en_US |
