AbstractIn this paper a new technique for the formation of high quality ultrathin gate dielectrics is proposed. Gate oxynitride was first grown in N2O and then annealed by in-situ rapid thermal NO-nitridation. This approach has the advantage of providing a tighter nitrogen distribution and a higher nitrogen accumulation at or near the Si-SiO2 interface than either N2O oxynitride or nitridation of SiO2 in the NO ambient. It is applicable to a wide range of oxide thickness because the initial rapid thermal N2O oxidation rate is slow but not as self-limited as NO oxidation. The resulting gate dielectrics have reduced charge trapping, lower stress-induced leakage current and significant resistance to interface state generation under electrical stress

AbstractThe degradation mechanism in hydrogen passivated and as-fabricated poly-Si TFT's are investigated under the various electrical stress conditions. It is observed that the charge trapping in the gate dielectric is the dominant degradation mechanism in poly-Si TFT's which was stressed by the gate bias alone while the creation of defects in the poly-Si film is prevalent in gate and drain bias stressed devices. The degradation due to the gate bias stress is dramatically reduced with hydrogenation time while the degradation due to the gate and drain bias stress is increased a little. From the experimental results, it is considered that hydrogenation suppress the charge trapping at gate dielectrics as well as improve the characteristics of poly-Si TFT's.
