Abstract :
The authors report the effects of N2O-annealed sacrificial oxide on nMOSFETs. It is demonstrated that by adding an N 2O-annealing step to the sacrificial oxide which was stripped off before growing the final gate oxide, the reverse short-channel effects (RSCE) can still be effectively suppressed
