Yh. Lin et al., THIN POLYOXIDE ON THE TOP OF POLY-SI GATE TO SUPPRESS BORON PENETRATION FOR PMOS, IEEE electron device letters, 16(5), 1995, pp. 164-165
A method of using a thin oxide on the top of the poly-Si gate to gette
r fluorine for BF2+ in pMOS is proposed and demonstrated. Due to less
amount of fluorine in the poly-Si as well as in the gate oxide, the bo
ron penetration through the gate oxide is suppressed. The MOS capacito
rs fabricated by using this method show less shifts and distortion on
C-V curves and better electrical characteristics.
