Abstract
The electrical properties of high quality ultrathin (<100 angstroms) oxide and oxynitride films grown on silicon at low temperature using O2, NO and NO/O2/NO-plasma are investigated. A significant improvement in the dielectric endurance and charge trapping behaviour under Fowler-Nordheim constant current is observed for NO/O2/NO grown oxynitride films. A three-step oxidation process for nitrogen incorporation at the surface and interface exhibited excellent nt properties in terms of interface state generation and charge trapping.
