Instability in flatband voltage of SiO2 embedded with silicon nanocrystals
In this work, the flatband voltage shift of SiO2 embedded with silicon nanocrystal (nc-Si) annealed at different annealing temperature, different annealing time and under different temperature ramping rates are being investigated. The Si-ions are implanted into the SiO2 with very low energy. The instability of the flatband voltage shift is due to fact that there are remaining Si ions in the SiO...
متن کاملXPS Studies of Silicon Nanoclusters/Nanocrystals Embedded in SiO2 Matrix
In this study, the analysis of the XPS Si 2p peaks shows the existence of the five chemical structures corresponding to the Si oxidation states Si n+ (n =0, 1, 2, 3, and 4) in Si-implanted SiO2 films, and the concentration of each oxidation states is determined quantitatively. The evolution of the five Si oxidation states as a function of thermal annealing is studied. On the other hand, Si 2p c...
متن کاملOptical Properties of Silicon Nanocrystals Embedded in SiO2 Matrix
From the view point of both science and technology, it would be interesting and useful to examine the optical properties of isolated silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) embedded in SiO2 matrix. A good understanding to optical properties of the nc-Si is definitely important to both the quantum physics and the applications especially in optoelectronic and photonic devices. In this work, spectroscopic el...
متن کاملOptical and Structural Properties of Si Nanocrystals in SiO2 Films
Optical and structural properties of Si nanocrystals (Si-nc) in silica films are described. For the SiOx (x < 2) films annealed above 1000 °C, the Raman signal of Si-nc and the absorption coefficient are proportional to the amount of elemental Si detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A good agreement is found between the measured refractive index and the value estimated by using the eff...
متن کاملModeling Process-Dependent Thermal Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) Films on Silicon
This study attempts to model correctly the process dependence of thermal SiO2 film physical structures and their associated densities, as well as high frequency dielectric constants, so as to provide a foundation for a ULSI process-dependent device reliability simulator. By exploring the characteristic signature of ellipsometric data reduced using a one-layer film model, and comparing it to a t...
