Abstract

For the integration of the high-k dielectrics to advanced CMOS process, the stabilities of high-k thin films for moisture ambient, ultra-pure water and resist process were investigated. Not only rare earth oxides but also ZrO ₂ was found to be degraded in the stability test. To suppress the degradation during the wet process, it is recommendable to cover the films by gate electrode and sidewalls by in-situ or dry process.
