The separation of the electron and hole flow into a collector and base current, respectively, enhances the possibility of identifying the origin of currents in MOS structures in general. Here, the temperature dependence of the generated charge carriers in relation to the tunneling current for both bias polarities on the gate has been measured. It is demonstrated that the anode hole injection concept can be excluded as the dominant current mechanism.","PeriodicalId":354721,"journal":{"name":"30th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127156159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that the re-oxidation of silicon nitride, formed by NH3-nitridation, in a vertical high pressure (VHP) O2 furnace effectively moves the nitrogen-rich layer toward the top interface by growing pure oxide underneath. The impact of NH3 nitridation temperature and VHP O2 re-oxidation time on gate dielectric stack thickness was also investigated. Electrical measurements on NMOS transistors fabricated with this gate dielectric stack exhibit more than 10 times lower gate leakage currents, significantly enhanced drain current driveability, and comparable channel carrier mobility and hot carrier immunity, as compared to SiO2 of similar effective thickness grown by rapid thermal oxidation (RTO).","PeriodicalId":354721,"journal":{"name":"30th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132561632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In PMOS a direct hole gate-current is now observed like the electronic one, as a function of the lateral field due to the first ionization event (II) which are both strongly reduced with VB during 2II effects. This behavior is opposite to the NMOS one where the II and 2II electronic gate-current is easily enhanced at lower field towards the NMOS gate by the conjonction of the thermionicand tunneling emissions. These results are explained by the localization of the emission point under the gate and by the hole energy loss which reduces the hole gate-current.","PeriodicalId":354721,"journal":{"name":"30th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132651376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The value of Hooge parameter α lies within the usual range for Si TFTs and amorphous Si. The absence of the illumination effect on the relative noise spectra of drain current fluctuations reveals that the nature of the 1/f noise in CdSe is probably different from that in Si and GaAs.","PeriodicalId":354721,"journal":{"name":"30th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121237444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This effect was usually modelled through the stress-induced change in the intrinsic carrier concentration, which depends on the orientation of the stress. This change has now been calculated for silicon for different uniaxial stresses up to 200 MPa. It has been found to vary parabolically with stress, especially for the <100> directions. Measurements show a similar variation of the collector current. These measurements were done on both pnp and npn transistors, for different orientations of current and stress. They also show that the change in the minority mobility cannot be neglected for the stress range considered.

An other important limitation is the reactivity of Ti with respect to silicon oxide and silicon nitride which may lead to shorts between poly and active area commonly named bridging . This last effect makes, the selective etch process very critical, especially because the selectivity between TiN/Ti and TiSi2 is poor with a conventional NH4OH:H2O2:H2O (SC1) chemistry and results in a loss of a substantial part of the formed silicide thickness and hence in an increase of the line resistance. In this paper we propose an original solution consisting in a two step etch called TISE2 for TItanium Selective Etch.
