Abstract
The authors report on the electrical and reliability characteristics of submicrometer nMOSFETs with oxynitride gate dielectric grown in N/sub 2/O. Compared with conventional rapid thermally grown oxide, oxynitride samples show significantly less degradation under hot-electron stress. According to lifetime calculation, oxynitride devices exhibit lifetimes approximately one order of magnitude longer than that of the control oxide.
