摘要
In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a PMOS transistor having a gate stack comprising a P+ doped gate polysilicon layer and a nitrided gate oxide (NGOX) layer. The NGOX layer may be over a silicon substrate. The integrated circuit further includes an interconnect line formed over the transistor. The interconnect line includes a hydrogen getter material and may comprise a single material or stack of materials. The interconnect line advantageously getters hydrogen (e.g., H2 or H2O) that would otherwise be trapped in the NGOX layer/silicon substrate interface, thereby improving the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) lifetime of the transistor.
