4.3 Future IssuesIA recovery <strong>of</strong> VFB shift was achieved by PMA with aluminum andplatinum. However, the mechanisms <strong>of</strong> their recoveries, especially PMAwith platinum were not clarified, and the reasons why PMA with goldelectrodes did not yield any recovery <strong>of</strong> VFB were not also investigated.From my results, it seems that some reactions enormously exert an influenceon VFB shift. Consequently, further examinations <strong>of</strong> these reactions inelectrical, physical and chemical aspects will be required <strong>for</strong> elucidations <strong>of</strong>these mechanisms. And it can be anticipated that the mobility <strong>of</strong> MOSFETfabricated by PMA treatment could become higher as compared with the onefabricated by PDA treatment because PMA treatment could recover the VFBshift toward almost theoretical value without fixed charge that cause thedegradation <strong>of</strong> mobility owing to Coulomb scattering. Accordingly, theevaluation <strong>of</strong> mobility should be examined through fabricating MOSFETtreated by PMA and the comparison with the one <strong>of</strong> PDA should be also done.Moreover, these material investigated in my study were not necessarily nextgeneration gate electrode materials. There<strong>for</strong>e, PMA <strong>for</strong> more promisingmaterials as next generation gate electrodes such as TiN, TaN or nickelsilicide must be examined.- 98 -
