Ts. Chao et Ch. Chu, INDUCTIVE-COUPLING-NITROGEN-PLASMA PROCESS FOR SUPPRESSION OF BORON PENETRATION IN BF2-IMPLANTED POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON GATE(), Applied physics letters, 70(1), 1997, pp. 55-56
A novel and simple method to suppress the boron penetration in the BF2
+-implanted polycrystalline silicon gate is presented by using the ind
uctive-coupling-nitrogen-plasma (ICNP) process. A nitrogen layer was f
ound at the SiO2/Si interface by using this method. The result shows t
hat the sample with the ICNP treatment exhibits a good suppression of
boron penetration and improved electrical characteristics. (C) 1997 Am
