In0.53Ga0.47As FinFET and GAA-FET With Remote-Plasma Treatment

Abstract

This letter presents a remote NH3/N-2 plasma treatment after gate oxide deposition for improving the electrical characteristics and the reliability of In0.53Ga0.47As FinFET. The plasma treatment enhanced drive current (I-DS), transconductance (G(m)), subthreshold swing (SS), flicker noise, and positive bias temperature lifetime, suggesting that this plasma treatment significantly improves the quality of the etched In0.53Ga0.47As channel interface. In0.53Ga0.47As FinFETs and gate-all-around FETs were fabricated with the proposed in situ remote-plasma treatment and characterized.
