Title
Advantage of further scaling in gate dielectrics below 0.5nm of equivalent oxide thickness with La2O3 gate dielectrics
Abstract
N-type metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 0.37nm has been demonstrated with La2O3 as a gate dielectric for the first time. Despite the existence of parasitic capacitances at gate electrode and inversion layer in the channel, a sufficient drain current increment in both linear and saturation regions have been observed, while scaling the gate oxide from 0.48 to 0.37nm in EOT. Therefore, continuous scaling of EOT below 0.5nm is still effective for further improvement in device performance.
