  • Abstract
    We investigated the deposition process reproducibility of extremely-thin (<1 nm) HfSiON-films deposited in a batch-type reactor. The deposition-rate measured on a monitor-wafer appeared to be affected by the base-oxide thickness, substrate doping and the surface material of the monitor-wafer. Furthermore, the deposition-rate is found to be affected also by the surface material of the back-surface of its adjacent wafer. Precise control of these factors is essential for good reproducibility.
