Abstract

Ultrathin oxynitride gate dielectrics of similar thickness (∼1.3nm) processed by an in situ steam-generated (ISSG), an ISSG with NO rapid thermal processing (RTP) treatment (ISSG-NO), and an ISSG with O2 RTP treatment (ISSG-O2) are investigated. The results demonstrate that ISSG-NO gate dielectrics exhibit superior interface properties, reduced leakage current, and improved reliability compared to other gate dielectrics. The ISSG-NO oxynitride film is an attractive candidate as the gate dielectrics in 90 nm and possibly beyond for complementary metal oxide semiconductor technologies.
