摘要

The electrical characteristics of NMOS capacitors fabricated using hihg quality, ultra-thin (20-25A) SiO_2, grown by in-situ steam generation (ISSG) in a rapid thermal processing system, and a clustered amorphous Si gate electrode is reported. The results show that, in addition to the enhanced grown rate of ISSG oxides,the lower stress-induced leakage current (SILC) and significantly improved reliability of ISSG SiO_2, such as a longer time-to-breakdown (T_BD) under a constant voltage stress and larger charge-to-breakdown (Q_BD) characteristics, as compared to SiO_2 of similar equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) grown by rapid thermal oxidation (RTO). In addition, it is also found that the reliability of ISSG oxide is considerably improved as the H_2 percentage increases. The result of Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscope indicates that ISSG oxides exhibit lower compressive strain than RTO oxides. Such appreciably improved reliability of ISSG oxide and reduced compressive strain may be explained by the reduction of defects within the structural transition layer (STL) between SiO_2 and Si substrate, such as weak Si-Si bonds (oxygen vacancies) and strained Si-O bonds, by highly reactive oxygen atoms which are hypothesized to be dissociated from the molecular oxygen due to the presence of hydrogen.
