Strained Si NMOS transistors with Lgate down to 3Snm were fabricated using Nisi as a metal gate electrode material for the first time. Compared to poly gate devices, Nisi metal gate devices showed further enhanced performance with good control of short channel effects and no degradation in gate oxide integrity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
