RESUMEN

Amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) field-effect transistors (FETs) have been integrated with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry in the back end of line (BEOL) CMOS process; they are promising devices creating new and various functionalities. Therefore, it is urgent to understand the physics determining their scalability and establish a physics-based model for a robust device design of AOS BEOL FETs. However, the advantage emphasized to date has been mainly an ultralow leakage current of these devices. A device modeling that comprehensively optimizes the threshold voltage (VT), the short-channel effect (SCE), the subthreshold swing (SS), and the field-effect mobility (µFE) of short-channel AOS FETs has been rarely reported. In this study, the device modeling of two-steps oxygen anneal-based submicron indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) BEOL FET enabling short-channel effects suppression is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Both the process parameters determining the SCE and the device physics related to the SCE are elucidated through our modeling and a technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation. In addition, the procedure of extracting the model parameters is concretely supplied. Noticeably, the proposed device model and simulation framework reproduce all of the measured current-voltage (I-V), VT roll-off, and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) characteristics according to the changes in the oxygen (O) partial pressure during the deposition of IGZO film, device structure, and channel length. Moreover, the results of an analysis based on the proposed model and the extracted parameters indicate that the SCE of submicron AOS FETs is effectively suppressed when the locally high oxygen-concentration region is used. Applying the two-step oxygen annealing to the double-gate (DG) FET can form this region, the beneficial effect of which is also proven through experimental results; the immunity to SCE is improved as the O-content controlled according to the partial O pressure during oxygen annealing increases. Furthermore, it is found that the essential factors in the device optimization are the subgap density of states (DOS), the oxygen content-dependent diffusion length of either the oxygen vacancy (VO) or O, and the separation between the top-gate edge and the source-drain contact hole. Our modeling and simulation results make it feasible to comprehensively optimize the device characteristic parameters, such as VT, SCE, SS, and µFE, of the submicron AOS BEOL FETs by independently controlling the lateral profile of the concentrations of VO and O in two-step oxygen anneal process.
