  • Abstract
    Gate oxynitride was grown in NO for the first time. This approach can provide a tight N accumulation near the Si/SiO2 interface. Much lower thermal budget is required for an NO process than for an N2O process to produce an oxynitride with useful properties. Submicron MOSFET´s with NO oxynitride showed superior current drive characteristics and comparable hot carrier immunity to those with N2O oxynitride
