The removal of nitrogen during boron indiffusion in silicon gate oxynitrides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect which nitrogen has upon boron diffusion through oxynitride gate dielectrics has been studied with secondary ion mass spectroscopy of polycrystalline silicon–oxynitride–silicon structures, and with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of silicon–boron–oxynitride–silicon structures. These studies show that the indiffusion of boron results in removal of nitrogen from the oxynitride. This indicates that the role of nitrogen in suppressing boron penetration is chemical in nature rather than diffusive. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~96!02330-3#

Ultrathin ( 1.9 nm) nitride/oxide (N/O) dual layer gate dielectrics have been prepared by the remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RPECVD) of Si3N4 onto oxides. Compared to PMOSFET’s with heavily doped p-poly-Si gates and oxide dielectrics, devices incorporating the RPECVD stacked nitrides display reduced tunneling current, effectively no boron penetration and improved interface ch...
