Abstract:
The first amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet FET is demonstrated. All of the process temperatures are below 300^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, showing great back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatibility. The channel release is achieved by sophisticated reactive-ion etch (RIE) with extremely high etching selectivity of the SiN sacrificial layer over the a-IGZO channel. A novel composite field oxide (FOX) is exploited to form an etching stop layer and avoid gate leakage. The device with gate length (L) of 52\mathrm{~nm} shows \mathrm{I}_{\text{off}}\lt 10^{-7}\mu\mathrm{A}/\mu\mathrm{m} (detection limit), high \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{on}}/\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{off}}\gt 1.3\times 10^{8}, the enhancement mode with the positive threshold voltage (\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{T}}) of 3.5\mathrm{~V}, and the clear saturation region in the output characteristic. Moreover, the smallest SS of 61\mathrm{mV}/\mathrm{dec} among all oxide semiconductor nanowire /nanosheet devices is achieved with the gate length of 150\mathrm{~nm}.
