Abstract

3-D sequential integration requires top MOSFETs processed at a low thermal budget, which can impair the device reliability. In this paper, top junctionless (JL) devices are fabricated with a maximum processing temperature of 525 °C. The devices feature high k/metal replacement gate and low-temperature Si:P and SiGe:B 60% raised source and drain for nMOS and pMOS fabrication, respectively. Device matching, analog, and RF performance of the top tier devices are in-line with the state-of-the-art Si technology processed at high temperature (>1000 °C). JL devices operate at reduced electric field and can meet in specification reliability (10-year reliable operation at V G= V th+ 0.6 V, 125 °C), even without the use of 'reliability' anneal. The top Si layer is transferred on CMOS planar bulk wafers with W metal-1 interconnects, using a SiCN to SiCN direct wafer bonding. Comparison with silicon-on-insulator devices fabricated with the same low-temperature flow shows no impact on device electrical performance from the Si layer transfer.
