Abstract

The electrical and reliability characteristics of ultra-thin gate oxide, annealed in ND3 gas, have been investigated. Compared with a control oxide, which had been annealed in NH3, the ND3-nitrided oxide exhibits a significant reduction in charge trapping and interface state generation. The improvement of electrical and reliability characteristics can be explained by the strong Si-D bond at the Si/SiO2 interface. This nitridation process of gate dielectric using ND3 has considerable potential for future ultra large scaled integration (ULSI) device applications.
