An XPS Study of Silicon Oxynitride Rapid Thermally Grown in Nitric Oxide
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Earlier growth studies on the rapid thermal oxidation of silicon in NO (RTNO) were not sufficiently comprehensive and were limited by temperature measurement uncertainty and thermal non-uniformity across the wafer. Using a state-of-the-art rapid thermal processing (RTP) system, the RTNO growth characteristics at 100 and 760 Torr, from 900 to 1200°C and from 0 to 480 s were investigated. It was found that the initial growth rate anomalously decreasedwith temperature and pressure. These anomalies were correlated to the evolution of the XPS N 1s spectrum of the RTNO film with oxidation time, temperature and pressure.
