A stack comprising a dielectric interface layer, a high-k gate dielectric layer, a group IIA/IIIB element layer is formed in that order on a semiconductor substrate. A metal aluminum nitride layer and, optionally, a semiconductor layer are formed on the stack. The stack is annealed at a raised temperature, e.g., at about 1,000° C. so that the materials in the stack are mixed to form a mixed high-k gate dielectric layer. The mixed high-k gate dielectric layer is doped with a group IIA/IIIB element and aluminum, and has a lower effective oxide thickness (EOT) than a conventional gate stack containing no aluminum. The inventive mixed high-k gate dielectric layer is amenable to EOT scaling due to the absence of a dielectric interface layer, which is caused by scavenging, i.e. consumption of any dielectric interface layer, by the IIA/IIB elements and aluminum.

A method and apparatus for treating a selected region of a metal layer, used to form a metal card, by annealing the selected metal region so the selected region becomes soft and ductile, while the rest of the metal layer remains stiff. The softened, ductile, selected metal region can be embossed with reduced power and with reduced wear and tear on the embossing equipment. Alternatively, the annealed metal layer can undergo additional processing steps to form an assembly which can then be embossed. The method may include the use of a fixture for holding the metal layer, with the fixture having a window region for enabling heat to be applied to soften the region of the metal layer within the window region. The fixture includes apparatus for cooling the portion of the metal layer outside of the window region and for preventing the temperature of the metal layer outside the window region from rising above predetermined limits.

A memory system is provided that includes an array of memory cells that require periodic refresh, and a temperature-adaptive refresh controller. Data retention time of the memory cells decreases exponentially as temperature increases. The temperature-adaptive refresh controller selects the refresh period of the memory cells in response to the subthreshold current of a reference transistor. The subthreshold current of the reference transistor increases exponentially as temperature increases As a result, the refresh period is empirically tied to the data retention time. Consequently, the power required for refresh operations decreases as temperature decreases. Power is therefore conserved in applications that operate predominantly at room temperature.
