Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is assessed in (100)Si planar cSi 0.5 Ge 0.5 Replacement Metal Gate (RMG) gate stacks, with and without high-k nitridation for various post nitridation anneal (PNA) conditions. Observed initial N it was 8~9x10 11 cm -2 . Nitrided devices show higher NBTI than non-nitrided devices. Observed time slopes become shallower from ~0.25 to ~0.20. Overall, observed NBTI in cSi 0.5 Ge 0.5 stacks are promising making it viable for use in 7nm and below nodes.
