Abstract
ABSTRACTWe have prepared thin SiO2 layers on Si(100) wafers by electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapour deposition (ECR-CVD) in a multi-chamber ultra-high vacuum (UHV) processing system. The oxides were characterized in-situ by single wavelength ellipsometry (SWE) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ex-situ by Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and capacitance-voltage (CV) electrical measurements. Films deposited at higher pressures, low powers and low silane flow rates had excellent physical and electrical properties. Films deposited at 400 °C had better physical properties than those of thermal oxides grown in dry oxygen at 700 °C. A 1 minute anneal at 950 °C reduced the fast interface state density from 1.2×1011 to 7×1010 eV−1cm−2
