III-V & Ge Key Messages
• Gate Dielectric Growth techniques are being developed – Current Approaches (III-V):
• MBE Growth of III-V/Ga2O3/GdGaO Stack (Freescale)• As Cap/ In situ As decap +ALD HfO2 (Stanford)• NH4OH-ALD Al2O3 or HfO2 on III-V (Purdue)• InAlAs Barrier (MIT)
– Current Approaches (Ge):• GeOxNy Nitridation (Stanford)• Ozone Oxidized Ge + ALD High κ dielectric HfO2 (Stanford) • LaGeOx-ZrO2(Ge) High K (Dual Logic)
• Controlling surface oxide formation is critical for control of interface states– Control of interface stochiometry, structure and defects is critical– GeOx stochiometry control affected by growth temperature

III-V & Ge Key Messages
• Ge dopant activation requires high temperature – Incompatible with III-V process temperatures
• S/D Contact Formation Current Approaches:– Ge
• P-MOS: Boron with many ohmic metal contact options
• N-MOS: Dopants have high diffusivity & metals schottky barriers
– III-V• W contact/InGaAs cap/InAlAs (MIT)
• Are barriers needed to keep dislocations out of the channel?

Graphene Challenges & Status
• Ability to deposit graphene on appropriate substrates
• Producing a bandgap– Fabricating Narrow Graphene Lines– Applying a high electric field to bi-graphene
• Achieving high mobility in an integrated structure
• Achieving a high on-off conduction ratio
ITRS Winter Conference 2008 Seoul, Korea 19
Work in Progress: Not for Distribution
Graphene Deposition
• CVD of Graphene on Ni, Pt, and Ir– Graphene is strongly bonded to Ni, but has a lattice match– Graphene deposited on Pt is not distorted, is not lattice matched,
but is weakly bonded• SiC decomposition
– Issue: High process temperature (>1100C)• Exfoliation Techniques
– Graphene Oxide Decomposition (Mobility <1000cm2/V-sec)• Oxidation process produced islands of graphene surrounded by
disordered material (hoping conduction)– Try less aggressive oxidation process
– Solvent exfoliation• Solvents capable of separating graphene sheets are difficult to
evaporate (high boiling point)– Tape exfoliation

Producing a Graphene Bandgap
• Fabricating Narrow Graphene Lines– Requires patterning sub
20nm lines– Edge defect control is
challenging (Eg & Mobility)

Spin Materials
• Ferromagnetic III-V (Mn) semiconductors have verified Curie temperatures 100-200K– Carrier mediated exchange
• Nanowires of GeMn have reported ferromagnetic properties at 300K+, but carrier mediated exchange with gated structure is difficult to verify
• Oxides doped with transition metals have ferromagnetic properties– Ferromagnetism is determined by carrier doping, but it isn’t
clear whether this can be modulated with electric fields– Ferromagnetism is proposed to be in an impurity band vs.
the oxide bands.– It is not clear whether this is useful for device applications

Spin Materials (Cont.)
• Spin Tunnel Barrier Materials– MgO crystalline material is the best spin selective tunnel
barrier to date• May work with a limited number of materials due to lattice
match requirement
– Films must be ~9A thick– Al2O3 films work, but with much lower selectivity
• Multiferroics– BaFeO3 has ferroelectric & antimagnetic properties coupled
• Limited degrees of freedom & low coupling

Litho July ‘08– General:
• ERM requested confirmation of timing, metric families, and quantitative metrics
– 3rd generation immersion lithography technology:• There was considerable discussion on this topic;• Concern was expressed that this technology may be pushed out too far
to meet required insertion windows;• 2012 insertion appears unlikely • It was agreed that the ERM WG would wait for the Litho TWG to
address this issue and make a recommendation; – Novel macromolecules for resist applications:
• Use the same criteria as is used for resist. – Increased interest in intermediate state photochemistry, chemical
image enhancement, two photon patterning, imprint, optical threshold layers, and non-CAR systems
– Nanoparticles:• Drop the optics abrasion requirement, since this would be a difficult
property for the university research community to characterize; – Directed self assembly for patterning applications:
• The Lithography ITWG reviewed the DSA research requirements and agreed to provide feedback at a later date.

July ’08 Interconnect
– General:• To ensure a meaningful comparison, standardize metrics for each application,
across the set of candidate materials, e.g. CNTs, graphene, and nanowires for interconnect applications
– Add Chris Case to the ERM Distribution list – Alternate channel materials:
• Focus on contact materials for Ge and III-V materials. • Contact resistance and S/D leakage are critical properties that need to be
addressed – CNTs for Interconnects:
– Separate this topic into via and planar interconnect applications – CNT interconnects must have a conductivity at least 2X greater than copper
• Graphene Interconnects: – Determine the width and layer thickness dependence of the conductivity
– Novel Barrier Layers:• Target barrier layer thicknesses of 1-2 atomic layers• It is imperative to realize low process integration complexity• Barrier material candidates must provide a good diffusion barrier to Cu

July:ERM WG - Assembly and Packaging ITWG:
• CNTs for thermal interface Applications: – Critical metrics: Low contact resistance and CNT density – Even though this technology is low on the learning curve and commercial viability
usually ranks as a low priority metric during the exploratory phase of research, researchers are encouraged to consider cost implications as one of several critical success factors for assessing the potential maufacturability of the CNT TIM;
• Oxide nanoparticles for package filler applications:– Add biocompatibility and assess cost implications
• Nanometal for chip attach applications:– Include the following additional families of requirements: melting point, electrical
conductivity, electromigration resistance, stress relief, inter-metallic formation, and properties, as needed, for predictive modeling.
• Macromolecules for polymer adhesion applications to different materials: – Add water absorption (free), CTE, modulus, bonding, and debonding
• Complex metal oxides: – Add dielectric constant at minimum thickness and charge leakage
• Assembly & Packaging Priorities for e-Workshops were: – Priority #1: Assembly & Package Dielectrics High and Low K materials– Priority #2: Nanocomposite moisture barriers and adhesion materials– Priority #3: Low temperature assembly materials & nanowires– Priority #4: Carbon Nanotube thermal Interface materials

CNT TIM workshop summary
• The following two still remain challenges in CNT TIM applications:1. Controlling CNT array density
- Best density up to ~ 1010 – 1011/cm2 achieved by optimizing the catalyst under-layer thickness;
- It’s not clear what the target density should be and whether an array density higher than the above could be achieved
2. Increasing bonding or wetting of CNT with Si, SiO2 and metals to lower thermal interface resistance
- Lowest thermal interface resistance achieved by In coating of CNT:
Interfacial conductance [glass-In-CNT-Si]: 3.1±1.5 MW/m2∙K as compared to Glass-CNT-Si: 0.075±0.005 MW/m2∙K
- Issue of In wetting on CNT remain- Not many strategies exist on improving thermal interface
conductance between CNT-Si or CNT-metals- Realistic targets of experimentally achievable interfacial
thermal conductance need to be defined

CNT summary
The following has been achieved...• Low electrical contact resistance, close to theoretical value, has
been achieved experimentally• High frequency response of nanotubes (impedance, inductance, skin
effect) has been modeled and skin effect is predicted to be negligible
• Some progress towards achieving high density CNT arrays 1010 – 1011/cm2
• In-CNT interface shown to reduce thermal interface resistance
The following challenges or unknowns still remain...• Low T CVD growth of CNT• Increasing CNT array density• Reducing CNT electrical and thermal contact resistance•

Macromolecules/nano-composites workshop summary
• Adhesion improvement with nano-composites– Adhesion enhancement is shown with nanocomposites, however the
mechanism is not well understood (nanoclay composite to Silicon)• Nano-composite mechanical property enhancement [modulus, CTE,
toughness, elongation]– Decoupling of properties (stiffness-toughness) is a very attractive
feature of nano-composites and has been demonstrated with various composite systems
– Hypotheses of toughening of nano-composites are in place: nano-particle migration to crazes to prevent crack propagation; hypothesis validation is not done yet
• Nano-composite moisture absorption– Relative permeability is shown to drop significantly at very small
volume fractions of nanoparticles [silicates]• Dispersion, interface tailoring of nano-fillers with polymer matrix
– Various surface chemistries demonstrated to improve dispersion of nano-silica (particles or clays) in composites: epoxy silica, amino silica, HMDS silica
– Dispersion issues still remain such as intercalation or exfoliation of clay or nano-particle clusters, delamination at filler-matrix interface

ERM ESH Needs (July ’08)M. Garner & J. Jewett
– Jim Jewett and Mike Garner agreed to write a white paper on NanoEHS needs to attach to the ITRS ESH & ERM chapters.
• Toxicology research integration and summary
– Dan Herr recommended that the ESH-ERM communities consider driving the energy and health related opportunities that are emerging from the ITRS Functional Diversification agenda.
• This may enable the ESH community to get ahead of regulation, as functional diversification may provide enabling energy and health opportunities and enable the industry to leap frog over, remove, and/or avoid emerging issues.

Modeling July ‘08
– The scope of the Modeling ITWG was discussed and its relationship with the ERM WG.
• While much of the ERM focus lies outside the current focus of the M&S ITWG, emerging materials will require considerable application related modeling that will serve as a bridge to the design community, i.e. compact models.
– More discussion is needed, especially with respect to :– ERM related metrology, compact models, application
specific material models, such as the dielectric constant of thin high-complex metal oxides and the unique domain structures of mixed phase segregated block copolymers.
– Modeling is needed to extract critical information from parallel metrology measurements and to decouple nanometer scale physical interactions
• This should topic be included in ERM – M&S discussions

• Metallic systems specifically transition and inner transition metals. – Need specific functionals that could be tested with more rigorous
techniques,• More generalized extension for band gaps
– Currently hybrid and metal functionals are being developed but need to be thoroughly characterized
• Strongly correlated systems require model development to explain the interaction between spin, charge, and lattice changes for potential use in spin wave propagation. – Requires quantification of the energy associated with spin switching and
transport and the identification of speed limitations. • Extension or linking of quantum models from femtoseconds to
microseconds or longer to emulate realistic synthesis and transport.
