  • Abstract
    The workfunction behavior and stability of several candidate metal gate electrodes on HfO2 was carefully examined and correlated with processing parameters such as anneal temperatures and oxygen exposures. Transition metals and their nitrides, binary metal alloys and refractory metals were studied on MOCVD HfO2 dielectrics of varying thicknesses. Binary low work function Mo-Ta alloys were also investigated on HfO2.
