Abstract

The effect of incorporation of nitrogen atoms into the structure of reactively sputtered SiO2 was examined. It was determined that the presence of a controlled concentration of nitrogen atoms improves the electrical properties of the oxide. This could be achieved at partial pres-sure of nitrogen of about 10%. High temperature annealing improved the oxide properties. The nitrided oxides showed a better resistance to high current stress.
