Effective work function of p-type gate electrodes on Hf-based high-k dielectrics is known to decrease after high temperature source/drain activation annealing for either poly-Si or metal gate. This effective work function change, called Fermi level pinning, is considered to be due to an interface dipole formation at high-k/ electrode interface originating from oxygen vacancy ($V_{\rm O}$) generated in high-k layer. In this work, we experimentally verified that an energy gain of electron transfer from $V_{\rm O}$ defect level in high-k to electrode and reductant elements in high-k/metal gate stacks such as carbon an silicon atoms dominate $V_{\rm O}$ formation kinetics, and developed a guiding principle for gate-first high-k/metal gate stacks to control the effective work function. |
