Popis: The Damascene metal gate transistors are found to exhibit characteristics superior to those of the conventional polysilicon gate transistors with respect to the threshold voltage deviation (/spl Delta/V/sub th/) and the subthreshold swing (S-factor) when the metal gate work function deviation (crystal orientation deviation) is suppressed by using the inorganic CVD technique. The mechanisms of the gate length dependence of /spl Delta/V/sub th/ and S-factor in the Damascene metal gate transistors can be explained by metal gate work function deviation in the channel region.
