It is found that nitrogen distributed in the polysilicon and polysilicon/SiO/sub 2/ can retard the diffusivity of boron in the polysilicon, and hence suppress the boron from reaching the bulk oxide and improve the charge to breakdown (Q/sub BD/). However, too much incorporation of nitrogen during implantation or drive-in process might degrade the Q/sub BD/, which is probably related to the nitrogen which is doubly bonded to Si atoms in the bulk oxide, with the remaining bond being a hydrogen or dangling bond. It is also found that furnace annealing and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) give different drive-in effect on as-implanted nitrogen, and therefore the gate oxide integrity.","PeriodicalId":183235,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.

BST thin films were deposited on n-Si(100) substrates by the sol-gel method. We examined the characteristics of the MIS capacitor at 30/spl deg/C and 120/spl deg/C. The hysteresis loop was determined by high frequency (1 MHz) capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement. Also, current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the MIS capacitor were investigated. The BST MIS structure showed a relatively high dielectric constant in the insulator. It was found that the small signal capacitance of the MIS capacitors was affected by the ferroelectric properties of the BST films. The I-V measurement revealed that the BST films obey Frenkel-Poole emission conduction process under high electric field.","PeriodicalId":183235,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.
