Abstract
The influence of a HF-ethanol dip as the last preoxidation cleaning step in the fabrication of metal-thin insulator-silicon capacitors is investigated. The experimental procedure and main advantages of this cleaning step for the electrical properties such as breakdown characteristics, I/V characteristics and interface state density are presented
