Abstract
CMOS devices fabricated with a rapid thermal anneal source and drain activation have been compared with similar devices fabricated with a standard furnace anneal. Measurements have been made of low frequency noise, average interface state density, channel mobility, threshold voltage and bulk states using DLTS. Results show that in some instances RTA can have a deleterious effect on device performance that appears to be due to the rapid rates of cooling that can occur when using this techology.
