ABSTRACTThe OFF current in a-Si TFTs is an important parameter, especially for applications such as active matrix liquid crystal displays. In some demanding applications operation at 70°C or higher is required. This paper reports studies of the OFF current limiting mechanisms at room temperature and above. It is shown that the limiting mechanisms are hole injection from the drain junction at room temperature and electron conduction at higher temperatures. The importance of silicon thickness and interface state density at the passivation interface is stressed.

ABSTRACTThe interface properties of MOS capacitors and MOSFETs were characterized using the (0001), (1120), and (0338) faces of 4H-SiC. (0001) and (1120) correspond to (111) and (110) in cubic structure. (0338) is semi-equivalent to (100). The interface states near the conduction band edge are discussed based on the capacitance and conductance measurements of n-type MOS capacitors at a low temperature and room temperature. The (0338) face indicated the smallest interface state density near the conduction band edge and highest channel mobility in n-channel MOSFETs among these faces.

Oxide Deposition

Abstract Use of non-contact test techniques to characterize degradation of the Si-SiO2 system on the wafer surface exposed to a plasma environment have proven themselves to be sensitive and useful in investigation of plasma charging level and uniformity. The current paper describes application of the surface charge analyzer and surface photo-voltage tool to explore process-induced charging occurring during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of TEOS oxide. The oxide charge, the interface state density, and dopant deactivation are studied on blanket oxidized wafers with respect to the effect of oxide deposition, power lift step, and subsequent annealing.

Plasma Nitridation

A nitride layer was formed on a SiC surface by plasma nitridation using pure nitrogen as the reaction gas at the temperature from 800°C to 1400°C. The surface was characterized by XPS. The XPS measurement showed that an oxinitride layer was formed on the SiC surface by the plasma nitridation. The high process temperature seemed to be effective to activate the niridation reaction. A SiO2film was deposited on the nitridation layer to form SiO2/nitride/SiC structure. The interface state density of the SiO2/nitride/SiC structure was lower than that of the SiO2/SiC structure. This suggested that the nitridation was effective to improve the interface property.
