Abstract
Sub-micrometre p+-gate surface-channel pMOSFETs have been successfully fabricated with 6-10 nm-thick nitrided SiO2 gate films formed in an N2O ambient. The devices have excellent reliability in hot-carrier-induced degradation because of the good abilities of N2O-nitrided SiO2 films in both the blocking of boron penetration and the reduction in electron traps.
