The oxynitride gate dielectric was grown in light wet ambient by diluting NH/sub 3/ gas in N/sub 2/O using a low pressure furnace. The oxide growth rate could be enhanced by this technique. The electrical properties of the oxide were improved by hardening of both SiO2 bulk and Si/SiO2 interface with in-situ post N/sub 2/O annealing. This technology is very promising for gate dielectrics in next generation DRAM and Flash EEPROM devices.","PeriodicalId":328379,"journal":{"name":"1995 Symposium on VLSI Technology.

In this paper, the transistor hot-carrier life-time (HCLT) degradation due to plasma damage is shown to be related to the IETR, and thus establishes a new way to monitor gate-oxide reliability. The IETR is directly proportional to the pre-existing electron-trap density. Thus hot-carrier degradation in plasma damaged gate-oxide is by electron trapping instead of by interface-state generation normally expected for n-channel transistors. In addition, post Fowler-Norhein (FN) stress transistor parameter variation due to plasma damage is also shown to be linear to the IETR. A relationship between the hot-carrier stress method and the FN stress method for plasma induced latent damage measurement is thus established.","PeriodicalId":328379,"journal":{"name":"1995 Symposium on VLSI Technology.

Films with k as low as /spl sim/2.2 preferentially form between tightly-spaced metal leads when cured at low temperature (<400/spl deg/C), and interlayer dielectric properties are stable from 1 MHz to 1 GHz. HSQ simplifies the process integration of low-k materials for high performance interconnect applications by using standard semiconductor spin-on production techniques. Use of porous HSQ as a gapfill dielectric dramatically reduces the capacitive coupling between metal leads, resulting in higher interconnect performance.","PeriodicalId":328379,"journal":{"name":"1995 Symposium on VLSI Technology.
