La. Ragnarsson et al., ELECTRICAL RELIABILITY OF ULTRA-THIN REMOTE PLASMA-DEPOSITED OXIDES ON SILICON, Microelectronic engineering, 36(1-4), 1997, pp. 65-67
The degradation of ultra thin remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor de
position (RPECVD) oxides during direct tunneling electron injection wa
s studied and compared to that of thermally grown oxides. The deposite
d oxides were found to detoriate during injection and to recover after
wards in the same way as thermally grown ones. Also found was that the
energy loss at the interface of the injected electrons is a much bett
er parameter than the injected current density for estimating the gene
rated charge density.
