Charge-trapping properties of gate oxide grown on nitrogen-implanted silicon substrate
نویسنده
چکیده
Charge-trapping properties of ultrathin gate oxide grown on a nitrogen-implanted silicon substrate were investigated using high-field Fowler–Nordheim injection. By applying an empirical model and monitoring threshold voltage shift due to current stress, it was found that both hole trapping and electron trapping are suppressed in the nitrogen-implanted oxide. Smaller trap-generation rate compared to pure SiO2 film was also noticed. Our results indicate that nitrogen implantation into silicon substrate before gate oxide growth is an alternate way to incorporate nitrogen into the Si/SiO2 interface. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~99!04941-4#

Reliability of Thin Oxides Grown on Deuterium Implanted Silicon Substrate
We have investigated the reliability of gate oxide with deuterium incorporated at the Si/SiO interface through low energy ion implantation into the silicon substrate before thin gate oxide growth. Deuterium implantation at a dose of1 10 /cm at 25 keV showed improved breakdown characteristics. Charge-to-breakdown seems to correlate well with the interface state density measured by conductance me...

Thin oxides (4 nm) grown on deuterium-implanted silicon substrates were investigated for the first time. It was observed that deuterium implantation at a light dose of 1 x 1014/cm2 at 25 keV significantly reduced the leakage current through the oxide. A reduction in electron trap density has also been observed for this oxide. An increase in leakage current, observed for both higher and lower en...
متن کاملCharge trapping properties and retention time in amorphous SiGe/SiO2 nanolayers
In this paper, we report on the electrical properties of metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) capacitors containing a well-confined 8 nm-thick SiGe amorphous layer (a-SiGe) embedded in a SiO2 matrix grown by RF magnetron sputtering at a low temperature (350 ◦C). Capacitance–voltage measurements show that the introduction of the SiGe layer leads to a significant enhancement of the charge trapping cap...
