Abstract

In this work silicon nitride films are formed as substrate temperatures 250°C by combination of catalytic-nitridation and catalytic-vapor deposition method in a catalytic chemical vapor deposition system. It is found that inserting nitridation layer about 2 nm-thick before growing the silicon nitride films, injection-type hysteresis of capacitance-voltage curve is drastically reduced from 1.4 V to 0.05 V for 40 nm-thick SiNx.
