Abstract

In this paper, we report ultra thin high quality nitride/oxide gate dielectrics prepared by rapid thermal NH3 nitridation of Si followed by in-situ N2O oxidation (NH3+N2O process). These films show excellent interface properties, significant lower leakage current (approx. 102X), enhanced reliability, and superior boron diffusion barrier properties compared with SiO2 of identical thickness.
