Abstract
The influence of the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in vacuum on the properties of very thin SiO2 (11 nm) has been investigated electrically and by means of XPS. The results showed that RTA at Ta⩽1273 K anneals original electron traps in SiO 2 but in the same time it additionally introduces positive oxide charge. It is proposed that the observed strong deterioration of the electrical properties of the samples annealed at Ta=1473 K is due to the spontaneous decomposition of the oxide
