Ch. Kao et al., THE TEOS OXIDE DEPOSITED ON PHOSPHORUS IN-SITU POCL3 DOPED POLYSILICON WITH RAPID THERMAL ANNEALING IN N2O/, I.E.E.E. transactions on electron devices, 45(9), 1998, pp. 1927-1933
This work presents a TEOS oxide deposited on the phosphorus-in-situ do
ped polysilicon with rapid thermal N2O annealing, The oxide exhibits g
ood electron trapping characteristics with a charge-to-breakdown (Q(bd
)) up to 110 C/cm(2). It is due to the good polysilicon/oxide interfac
e morphology obtained by replacing POCl3 doping with in-situ doping an
d the rapid thermal annealing in N2O, In addition, the N2O annealing d
ensifies the deposited oxide and incorporates nitrogen into the oxide
and at the polysilicon/oxide interface, thus improving the electrical
characteristics.
