摘要: We have proposed an approach for growing robust ultrathin oxynitride using conventional thermal processes with the capability of preventing boron penetration. In this method, we obtain oxynitride with high nitrogen concentration (approximate to 13 at. %) on the top and low interface state density (D-it = 2 x 10(10) cm(-2) eV(-1)). The films demonstrate excellent properties in terms of low Dit, low leakage current, high endurance in stressing and superior boron diffusion blocking behavior. This method does not involve any additional capital equipment [such as decoupled plasma nitridation (DPN) or remote plasma nitridation (RPN)] or gas (NO or N2O). In addition, it obtains high-quality oxynitride film with low thermal budget. Most importantly, this process is simple and fully compatible with current process technology. It would be important and interesting for process engineers engaged in the field of gate dielectrics. It is suitable for the next generation of ULSI technology.
