The gate-oxide thickness dependent sensitivity to charging damage is examined. Ultra thin gate-oxide can tolerate low to moderate charging stress at room temperature better than thicker oxide, but not at elevated temperature. When the charging stress level is high, gate-oxide reliability degradation will result regardless the stress temperature. When high-k dielectric replaces SiO/sub 2/ as gate-dielectric, plasma charging damage should become very severe again.","PeriodicalId":349087,"journal":{"name":"2001 6th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

The capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristic of the samples surface-treated by N/sub 2/ plasma is far more ideal than that of the pure GaAs samples. The Schottky characteristic of the samples surface-treated at 350/spl deg/C is better than that of samples treated at 950/spl deg/C. In this article, the zero-bias Schottky barrier height (SBH) /spl Phi//sub b0/, the flat-band SBH /spl Phi//sub b//sup 0/, the thickness of the interfacial layer /spl delta/, the permittivity of the interfacial layer /spl epsiv//sub i/ and the ideality factor n of the samples at different nitridation temperature are extracted from the forward, reverse current-voltage (I-V) and the C-V measurement, respectively. Also the distribution of interface states density is qualitatively determined from the forward bias I-V characteristics by taking into account the bias dependence of the effective barrier height.","PeriodicalId":349087,"journal":{"name":"2001 6th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

The current transport is dominated by combined thermal injection, defect tunneling, and recombination mechanisms. The presence of carbon reduces interface states, decreases the leakage current, and increases forward turn-on voltage.
