  • Abstract
    In situ rapid thermal multi-processing (RTMP) technology is developed for Si3N4 capacitor film formation. Ultrathin Si3N4 films (36/spl Aring/) exhibit a low leakage current density (10nA/cm/sup 2/ at 1V) and markedly improved dielectric breakdown characteristics. The time to 50 % cumulative faidures for in situ RTMP capacitors is almost 10/sup 4/ times longer than that for conventional capacitors.
