Abstract

Electrical properties of thin (12 nm) SiO2 films with and without in-situ deposited poly Si electrodes have been studied. Thin SiO2 films were grown by the rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process and the poly Si films were deposited by the rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD) technique at 675°C and 800°C. Good electrical properties were observed for SiO2 films with thin in-situ poly Si deposition; the flatband voltage was ∼ -0.86 V, the interface state density was < 2 × 1010/cm2/eV, and breakdown strength was > 10 MV/cm. The properties of RTCVD poly Si were also studied. The grain size was 10-60 rim before anneal and was 50-120 rim after anneal. Voids were found in thin (< 70 nm) RTCVD poly Si films. No difference in either SiO2 properties or poly Si properties was observed for poly Si films deposited at different temperatures.
