Abstract

Electronic Optical and Magnetic Materials Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This letter reports that the boron penetration through the thin gate oxide into the Si substrate does not only cause a large threshold voltage shift but also induces a large degradation in the Si/SiO2 interface. An atomically flat Si/SiO2 interface can be easily obtained by using a stacked-amorphous-silicon (SAS) film as the gate structure for p+poly-Si gate MOS devices even the annealing temperature is as high as 1000° C. © 1994 IEEE
