摘要
The deuterium concentration as high as 2 x 10(20) cm(-3) can be incorporated in rapid thermal oxide layers by a process of deuterium prebake and deuterium post oxidation anneal. The deuterium distributed not only at Si/oxide interface but also in the bulk oxide. The deuterium incorporation shows the improvement on soft breakdown characteristics and the interface state density at SiO2/Si after stress. The addition of very high vacuum prebake process yields a deuterium concentration of 9 x 10(20) cm(-3), but also leads to the formation of rough oxide.
