Abstract

A systematic TEM study of the morphology of the polysilicon - SiO2 interface has been performed. LPCVD films were deposited on thermally oxidized silicon substrates, doped via diffusion or ion implantation, and oxidized in pyrogenic steam. Several aspects of the interface have been investigated as a function of dopant species, dopant concentration, oxidation time and oxidation temperature.
