ABSTRACTIn this paper, a detailed study is presented for the growth kinetics of rapid thermal oxidation of lightly-doped silicon in N2O and O2 on (100), (110), and (111) oriented substrates. It was found that (110)-oriented Si has the highest growth rate in both N2O and dry O2, and (100) Si has the lowest rate. There is no “crossover” on the growth rate of rapid thermal N2O oxidation between (110) Si and (111) Si as compared to oxides grown in furnace N2O. Pressure dependence of rapid thermal N2O oxidation is reported for the first time. MOS capacitor results show that the low-pressure (40 Torr) N2O-grown oxides have much less interface state generation and charge trapping under constant current stress as compared to oxides grown in either 760 Torr N2O or O2 ambient.

ABSTRACTThin layers of SiO2 (60-300 Å) were fabricated by rapid thermal oxidation (RTO). Growth rate on (100) and (111) Si was determined. Two different high-temperature anneal cycles were used to reduce the interface state density. Work function difference between metal and semiconductor depends upon technology and can be attributed to the changes in Si-SiO2 barrier height.
