AbstractIn this paper a new technique for the formation of high quality ultrathin gate dielectrics is proposed. Gate oxynitride was first grown in N2O and then annealed by in-situ rapid thermal NO-nitridation. This approach has the advantage of providing a tighter nitrogen distribution and a higher nitrogen accumulation at or near the Si-SiO2 interface than either N2O oxynitride or nitridation of SiO2 in the NO ambient. It is applicable to a wide range of oxide thickness because the initial rapid thermal N2O oxidation rate is slow but not as self-limited as NO oxidation. The resulting gate dielectrics have reduced charge trapping, lower stress-induced leakage current and significant resistance to interface state generation under electrical stress

ABSTRACTRedistribution of hydrogen caused by hot electron injection has been studied in large Al-gate capacitors using internal photemission followed by hydrogen depth profiling with the 15 N nuclear reaction. A large peak of hydrogen (∼ 1015 at /cm2) at the Al/SiO2 interface due to a hydrated layer on the surface of the SiO2 was found to act as a source of hydrogen during the photoinjection. A small fraction of the hydrogen released from this peak was found to be re-trapped near the Si/;SiO2 interface if a field of >1 MV/cm was applied to the SiO2 during the injection. Up to 2 × 1014 atoms/cm2 of hydrogen were found to be trapped at this interface for injected fluences up to 5 C/cm2. These results are discussed in terms of current models of interface state generation involving hydrogen.
