ALD IGZO application for Monolithic 3D Integration

Improvement of device performance and decrease of power consumption by scaling down in the semiconductor industry have almost reached the physical limit. Additionally, the possibility of memory’s capacitor collapsing has been increasing due to capacitors becoming narrower and higher so it can lead to reduced device reliability.

To escape the limit of scaling down, Monolithic 3D (M3D) technology which stacks layer by layer third dimension integration, would be available instead of planar scaling. Because it is scalable, performable, and economic, lots of companies, institutes, and universities are actively developing for its commercialization.

There is a limitation of upper layer process temperature because dopant diffusion, property degradation, and dimensional change in the lower device can happen during M3D integration. Therefore, to prevent the lower device from deteriorating, the process temperature for upper channel materials must be limited to not more than 450℃. IGZO has great properties and can be processed at low temperature so applying IZGO to M3D devices has been studied and developed, such as IGZO OSFET stacking on CMOS devices or RRAMs.

Recently, IGZO is being applied to capacitor-less DRAM (2T0C) because IGZO TFT has very low off current (Ioff) by long retention time.

ALD IGZO enables conformal deposition and excellent thickness controllability. Also, composition control by cycle number ratio is accurate, so the bilayer structure can be easily deposited. It is expected to be applied for superb M3D devices.

NCD has been developing IGZO batch IGZO-ALD system with its creative technology, and it shows excellent film properties and high throughput with large area processing. LucidaTM S Series is available for developing M3D integration of Logic, Memory and electro-optics, etc.

LucidaTM S Series for semiconductor is a high throughput ALD system with thermal or plasma process for 300 mm wafers and is able to deposit various oxides (HfO2, ZrO2) and metals (TiN, TaN, Ru) with excellent property and film uniformity.
