Lowering the Environmental Impact Of High-κ/Metal Gate Stack Surface Preparation Processes

Hafnium based oxides and silicates are promising high-κ dielectrics to replace SiO₂ as gate material for state-of-the-art semiconductor devices. However, integrating these new high-κ materials into the existing complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process remains a challenge. One particul...
