Atomic layer deposition-based interface engineering for high-k/metal gate stacks

• This review will discuss the in-situ surface engineering of active channel surfaces prior to or during the ALD high-k/metal gate deposition process. We will show that by carefully choosing ALD in-situ pre-treatment methods and precursor chemistries relevant electrical properties for future high-k dielectrics can be improved. Different high-k dielectrics such as Hafnium-Oxide (HfO2), Aluminum-Oxide (Al2O3), Lanthanum-Lutetium-Oxide (LaLuO3) and Lanthanum-Oxide (La 2O3) for CMOS-based device technology are investigated in combination with Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge) substrates. Additionally, the use of ALD for deposition of a high-k dielectric gate stack on Graphene is discussed.
