ASYMMETRIC HIGH-K DIELECTRIC FOR REDUCING GATE INDUCED DRAIN LEAKAGE

摘要

An asymmetric high-k dielectric for reduced gate induced drain leakage in high-k MOSFETs and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes performing an implant process on a high-k dielectric sidewall of a gate structure. The method further includes performing an oxygen annealing process to grow an oxide region on a drain side of the gate structure, while inhibiting oxide growth on a source side of the gate structure adjacent to a source region.

1. A gate structure comprising:
an interfacial dielectric layer on substrate, a source side and a drain side of the gate structure, the interfacial dielectric having a first thickness on the source side and a second thickness on the drain side, the first thickness being different than the second thickness forming an asymmetric gate dielectric; a gate material formed on the interfacial dielectric layer; sidewalls on the gate material on the source side and drain side; and high-k dielectric layer on the sidewalls on the drain side and underlying the gate material.
