Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Effective work function control and equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) scaling are the major concerns for implementing metal/high-k gate stacks with gate-first process. In addition to interfacial SiO2 growth, it has been reported that metal elements such as Hf and La atoms in high-k layers diffuse into gate electrode after high-temperature activation annealing. In this work, we have investigated the Hf diffusion kinetics in TiN/HfSiO gate stacks. The Hf upward diffusion is found to be independent of interfacial SiO$_2$ growth, but depends on the amount of oxygen in the gate stacks. It is also revealed that, when the TiN electrode contains a certain amount of oxygen, Hf diffusion into TiN occurs at above 650$^o$C and leads to high-k degradation.
