Abstract

In this work, the impact of the local and remote Coulomb scattering mechanisms on electron and hole mobility are investigated. The effective mobilities in quasi-planar finFETs with TiN/Hf0.4Si0.6O/SiO2 gate stacks have been measured at 300 K and 4 K. At 300 K, electron mobility is degraded below that of bulk MOSFETs in the literature, whereas hole mobility is comparable. The 4 K electron and hole mobilities have been modeled in terms of ionized impurity, local Coulomb, remote Coulomb and local roughness scattering. An existing model for remote Coulomb scattering from a polycrystalline silicon gate has been adapted to model remote Coulomb scattering from a high-κ/SiO2 gate stack. Subsequently, remote charge densities of 8 × 1012 cm−2 at the Hf0.4Si0.6O/SiO2 interface were extracted and shown to be the dominant Coulomb scattering mechanism for both electron and hole mobilities at 4 K. Finally, a Monte Carlo simulation showed remote Coulomb scattering was responsible for the degraded 300 K electron mobility.
