Nitride, Nitrided Oxide and Oxidized Nitride for Thin Dielectrics

Abstract
In this paper, comparisons of material and electrical parameters between qate and interpoly dielectrics consistinq of thermal oxides, nitrides, nitrided oxides and oxidized nitrides are reported. A range of dielectrics, 5 nm to 30 nm thick, are thermally grown using a matrix of oxidation cycles, ammonia concentration and nitridation temperatures and pressures. Fabrication of polysilicon gate and interpoly capacitors is typical of industry standards. AES, RBS and ellipsometric analysis of dielectric material properties are discussed and electrical characterization results are presented.
