W Polymetal Gate Technology for Giga Bit DRAM

W Polymetal Gate Technology for Giga Bit DRAM

W polymetal gate technology for giga bit DRAM are presented. Key module processes for polymetal gate are studied in detail. $W/WN_x/poly-silicon$ adopted for a word line of 256Mbit DRAM has good gate oxide integrity and junction leakage characteristics through full integration, which is comparable to those of conventional $WSi_x$/Poly-silicon gate process. These results undoubtedly show that $W/WN_x/poly-silicon$ is the strongest candidate as a word line for Giga bit DRAM.
