  • Abstract
    We report, for the first time, intrinsic reliability of SiO2 grown on 100 and 110 substrates. The tunneling current characteristics and barrier height have been analyzed. Three different processes were used to fabricate 6 nm-7 nm gates. In each case, little difference was observed in the gate oxide reliability for the two substrate orientations. The results are explained in terms of the tunneling current and the barrier height
