Abstract
A variety of processes based on radical oxidation (N2O/H2) and spike RTO are investigated in this study to grow ultrathin SiO2 layers. Their process space is mapped out to cover regimes of interest for gate-last or gate-first integration of high k dielectrics with metal gates. Applied´s Centura RTP chamber is found to be readily compatible with the requirements associated with 22/20nm CMOS technology.
