High frequencies characteristics

Figure 5-4(a) shows the measured S-parameters for the 35 fF/μm² density TaN/STO/TaN capacitors. The capacitance values at RF frequency were extracted using the equivalent circuit model in Figure 5-4(b): the MIM capacitor is modeled by Rp and C, where the Rp originates from the high-κ dielectric loss. In addition, the Rs, Ls1, and Ls2

represent the parasitic impedances in the coplanar transmission line used for RF measurements. Good agreement between measured and simulated data are obtained over entire frequency range from 200 MHz to 10 GHz indicating the equivalent circuit model suitable and reliable for the TaN/STO/TaN modeling and capacitance value extraction.

Figure 5-5(a) shows the dependence of capacitance density as a function of

81

frequency, where the data at RF frequency region is extracted from the circuit model with well matched S-parameters and the data at intermediate frequency (IF) are obtained from the measured C-V characteristics. A small capacitance reduction of only 4.1% from 100 kHz to 10 GHz is obtained indicating the good quality of device performance over the IF to RF range [21], [60]. However, such extracted capacitance density at RF regime is not sensitive enough to calculate the small ΔC/C variation- important for precision capacitors operated under large signal swing. We have used the previous circuit-theory-derived equation to calculate the ΔC/C-V from measured S-parameters and the results are also shown in Figure 5-5(a) and 5-5(b). The measured ΔC/C-V can be fitted with a second order polynomial equation, where linear (β) and quadratic (α) voltage coefficients of ΔC/C were obtained. Since the β effect can be canceled by circuit design using differential method, α is the key parameter to cause the unwanted

voltage-dependent ΔC/C. The obtained ΔC/C and α have been plotted in Figure 5-5(a).

Fortunately, the ΔC/C decrease with increasing frequency into RF region, which is attributed to the trapped carriers being unable to follow the high frequency signal with typical carrier lifetimes in the range ms to μs [14]-[15], [19]-[20]. The device quality (Q) factor is shown in Figure 5-6, which was extracted from measured S-parameters using a circuit model [57], [60] at RF frequencies. A capacitance value of 14 pf was obtained and consistent to the 35 fF/μm² density measured by C-V. A good Q-factor >50 is

82

obtained for RF application before resonant frequency (fr) of ~13 GHz, where the relative low fr is due to the large capacitance.

The important device parameters for the analog capacitors are summarized in Table 5-1. Among the previous high-κ capacitors, the TaN/STO/TaN capacitor provides a promising and effectively solution to improve VCC-α, while maintaining very high capacitance density.

5.5 Conclusion

Very high 35 fF/μm² capacitance density, low capacitance reduction of 4% from 100 kHz to 10 GHz and small leakage of 1×10^-7 A/cm² at 1 V were simultaneously achieved in very high-κ TaN/STO/TaN MIM capacitors. This high density MIM capacitor is important for largely down-scaling the capacitance size and integration with DRAM.

Conclusion

Using micro-crystallized high-κ SrTiO3 on NH3 treated TaN bottom electrode,a very high density of 35 fF/μm² is measured in a radio frequency (RF) metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor using high-κ (κ = 169) SrTiO3. A very small capacitance reduction of 4.1% from 100 kHz to 10 GHz, low leakage current of 1×10^-7 A/cm² at 1 V is simultaneously measured. The small voltage dependence of a capacitance ΔC/C of 637 ppm is also obtained at 2 GHz, which ensures this MIM capacitor useful for high precision circuits operated at a RF regime. Although this work could achieve high capacitance density and low leakage current at the same time, but its higher PDA temperature (>450^oC) to form nano-crystal is an important issue in the back-end process flow.

Second, in order to further study the characteristics of SrTiO3, the impact of Ta2O5

doping on electrical characteristics of SrTiO3 MIM capacitors was studied for the first time. Using high-κ Ta2O5 doped STO dielectric (PDA temperature:420^oC), an absolute value of quadratic voltage coefficient of capacitance (VCC-α ) of 420 ppm/V² and high capacitance density of ~20 fF/μm² are achieved in this work. This is approximately one order of magnitude better than the same device using a pure STO, with added advantages of improved voltage and temperature coefficients of capacitance. Besides, the degradation of electrical properties after stress is all reduced, in contrast with using a pure STO. In our previous work of STO MIM, although nano-crystallized STO shows higher κ values and good device characteristics, the nano-crystallized STO requires a

91

heat treatment at 450~500^oC under an oxygen ambient. This activation maximum temperature (>450^oC) cannot permit for the backend integration.

In addition, we have also developed successfully a novel plasma treatment on dielectric film to improve the electrical properties of MIM capacitors. This improvement may arise from the nitrogen atom assists to passivate oxygen vacancies in the TiNiO dielectric and eliminate the electron leakage path mediated by the oxygen vacancies.

Moreover, high 16 fF/μm² density and very low 7×10^-9 A/cm² A/cm² leakage current are all measured in novel high-κ TiPrO (κ=26) MIM capacitor with high work-function Ir, which meet well the ITRS roadmap requirement for analog IC at year 2018.

92

Recommendation

The possible influences on voltage dependence of capacitance are summarized as the following section:

(A). Interfacial layer:

The interfacial layer is responsible for higher leakage current, degraded VCC and TCC, as discussed above, and which may be due to the higher trap density from the oxygen deficiency. For this reason, lower fabricated temperature or NH3 plasma treated TaN should be used to suppress interfacial layer growth from inter-diffusion and reaction between dielectric and electrode.

(B). Surface roughness:

The surface roughness could induce higher leakage and ΔC/C due to local electric field enhancement. It is interesting that the amorphous dielectric, such as TiPrO and TiNiO exhibit the bottom injection is the worse case due to poly-crystallized lower electrode. However, the crystallized material, such as SrTiO3 shows the gate injection is the worse case from degraded top interface, which is significant with increasing dielectric thickness. Consequently, using amorphous dielectric and electrode may be a good method for this concern.

(C). Dielectric thickness:

The VCC-α is strongly dependent on the capacitance density and electric field across on dielectric: an exponential decrease of α with increasing capacitance effective thickness (CET), or 1/C, was observed for all the capacitors. In other words, for the same CET or capacitance density value, the higher-κ dielectric has the lower VCC-α due to lager thickness and decreased electric field. The α−1/C dependence is important to choosing the required C density and also meeting the analog specifications of a low α.

93

In conclusion, MIM capacitors incorporating a higher φm top electrode and a higher κ dielectric provide a practical approach to achieve low thermal leakage and good VCC simultaneously, without reducing the capacitance density - as in a multi-layer or laminate structure.
