    This paper presents an important observation of plasma-induced damage on ultrathin oxides during O-2 plasma ashing by metal ''antenna'' structures with photoresist on top of the electrodes, It is found that for MOS capacitors without overlying photoresist during plasma ashing, only minor damage occurs on thin oxides, even for oxide thickness down to 4.2 nm and an area ratio as large as 10(4), In contrast, oxides thinner than 6 nm with resist overlayer suffer significant degradation from plasma charging, This phenomenon is contrary to most previous reports, It suggests that the presence of photoresist will substantially affect the plasma charging during ashing process, especially for devices with ultrathin gate oxides.

    In this work, we found that employing a post deposition N2O plasma treatment following the deposition of HfO2 film can effectively improve the electrical characteristics of p-type channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (pMOSFETs) with a HfO2 gate stack in terms of lower gate leakage current, lower interface state density, superior subthreshold swing, higher normalized transconductance and enhanced driving current even though it had led to a slightly higher equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) value of the HfO2 gate stack by around 0.3 nm. In order to clarify the attributes of the improvements, we used charge pumping (CP) measurement to analyze the densities of interface states and bulk traps in the HfO2 gate stacks. The improvements are then ascribed to the higher interface quality offered by the post deposition N2O plasma treatment. Moreover, we found that to more accurately estimate the bulk traps from the CP measurement, the leakage should be taken into account especially at low frequencies. Finally, it was found that the levels of the bulk traps and interface states can be reduced by the N2O plasma treatment, which also helps significantly eliminate the degradation of the gate stack during the subsequent voltage stress.

    The role of resist for ultrathin gate oxide degradation during O-2 plasma ashing

    During ashing process, resist has been intuitively regarded as a protection layer and deliberately removed in previous studies by wet process prior to plasma exposure in an effort to amplify the damage effect, Recently, we found instead that resist does not simply act as a protection layer, This newly observed phenomenon cannot be explained by the well-known electron shading effect which should not affect the area-intensive antenna structure used in our study, In this letter, we hypothesize that this resist-related charging damage is determined by the plasma potential adjustment difference between those devices with and without resist overlayer, The experimental results show a good correlation with our explanation, To be specific, severe antenna area ratio (ARR) dependent degradation of thin gate oxide is induced during the initial ashing stage while the resist is still on the electrodes, not during the overashing period.

    Improvement of reliability of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors with N2O nitrided gate oxide and N2O polysilicon gate reoxidation

    A systematic study of the impact of the reliability of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with N2O nitrided gate oxides and N2O poly-reoxidation was conducted. The improvements include hot carrier immunity, suppression of reverse short channel effect and suppression of plasma-induced degradation. These improvements are due to nitrogen incorporation at the oxide/Si-substrate interface. All data presented in this study involve substantially low thermal budget (850 degrees C), making this N2O-related technology extremely attractive and promising for future scaled devices.

    The effects of radiation on the characteristics of split-gate electrical erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM)/flash cells with recently-proposed horn-shaped floating gates are studied in terms of cell read current; data retention, cycling endurance, program/erase efficiency, threshold voltage and junction leakage. Our results show that the cells appear to survive after 1 Mrad (Si) Co-60 irradiation. Moreover, the after-irradiation cell read current actually increases in the ''erase'' (i.e., low-threshold voltage, high-conducting) state (i.e., improves), albeit the cell read current also increases in the ''program'' (i.e., high-threshold voltage, low-conducting) state (i.e., a degradation). Our results also show that, despite an improvement in the initial read current in the ''erase'' state immediately after radiation, the write/erase cycling endurance of the flash cells is significantly impeded after irradiation, due to a much faster ''window closure'' rate in the ''erase'' state, although the cell read current is found to remain relatively stable in the ''program'' state after cycling.

    Physical and electrical characterization of ZrO2 gate insulators deposited on Si(100) using Zr(O-i-Pr)(2)(thd)(2) and O-2

    The characteristics of ultrathin ZrO2 films deposited using molecular oxygen and the zirconium precursor Zr(O-i-Pr)(2)(thd)(2) [where O-i-Pr is isopropoxide and thd is 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate] were investigated. The organometallic was dissolved as a 0.15 M solution in octane and introduced into the deposition chamber using a liquid injection system. The deposition rate was insensitive to molecular oxygen flow but changed with liquid injection rate and was thermally activated in the range 390-550degreesC. No evidence of Zr-C and Zr-Si bonds were found in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), spectra, and carbon concentrations, 0.1 atom %, the detection limit of the XPS depth profiling measurements, were obtained at the lowest deposition temperatures and deposition rates. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed the ZrO2 films to be polycrystalline as deposited, with an amorphous zirconium silicate interfacial layer. The effects of postdeposition annealing were also demonstrated. After proper annealing treatments, promising capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics were achieved. A film with an equivalent oxide thickness of 2.3 nm showed current reductions of approximately two orders of magnitude when compared to SiO2, but some improvements are required if these films are to be used as a gate-insulator beyond the 100 nm CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology node.

    A novel method is proposed for the effective characterization of plasma-charge-induced damage on thin gate oxides. We have found that the gate current measured at V-g(gate voltage) = V-th(threshold voltage) under a low drain bias (e.g., 0.1 V) is a good indicator of the damage. Since the proposed method requires only low bias voltages, it does not cause additional damage to the devices. The proposed gate current measurement is also easy to incorporate to device measurement routines without an extra stressing step, and thus provides a simple and efficient damage indicator for studying plasma-charge-induced damage.

    Texture improved TiN films were prepared by a two-step deposition process. A thin uncollimated TiN layer is deposited first at low substrate temperature and sputtering power. This layer has poor step coverage and high resistivity, but acts as a crystallographic seed layer for the subsequent collimated TiN layer deposited at high substrate temperature and sputtering power. The TiN layer stack is deposited sequentially without vacuum break. The resulting TiN layer has a low resistivity of 72.25 mu Omega cm, high <111> preferred orientation, and improved bottom coverage in sub-quarter-micrometer contact holes and trenches.

    Effects of polysilicon gate doping concentration on plasma charging damage in ultrathin gate oxides

    Effects of poly-gate doping concentration on plasma charging damage in ultrathin gate oxides were investigated. While the charge-to-breakdown (Q(bd)) value under gate injection stress polarity (-V-g) is independent of the doping concentration, eb, under substrate injection stress polarity (+V-g) shows a noticeable improvement with increasing doping concentration. However, our results show that plasma-induced oxide degradation is actually aggravated with increasing poly-gate doping concentration. These seemingly inconsistent observations can be explained by the lowering of plasma charging potential in the case of insufficient poly-gate doping. (C) 1999 The Electrochemical Society.

    Effects of fluorine incorporation on ultrathin (4 nm) gate oxide integrity were investigated by fluorine co-implantation into p(+) polysilicon gate. In contrast to previous reports that fluorine incorporation worsens boron penetration and degrades oxide reliability, it was observed that with a medium F+ dose (similar to 1 x 10(14) cm(-2)), charge-to-breakdown characteristics can be improved without noticeable enhancement of boron penetration. It was also observed that fluorinated oxide depicts improved immunity to plasma damage as is evidenced by suppressed gate leakage current of antenna devices after plasma processing.
