摘要:
The insulating and stability characteristics of silicon dioxide gate oxide insulator for field effect transistors are enhanced by subjecting the silicon dioxide to an annealing in an ambient that contains a gaseous oxygen-containing species in an amount sufficient to provide a partial pressure from the oxygen-containing material of about 1.33 × 10⁻⁹ bar to about 1.33 × 10⁻² bar during annealing temperatures of about 500°C to about 1200°C. Such is carried out for a time sufficient to enhance the insulating and stability characteristics of the silicon dioxide insulator.

摘要:
Silicon dioxide insulating films for integrated circuits are provided with enhanced electronic properties, including enhanced dielectric break-down of MOS insulating layers and reduced trapping of holes by exposing a metal oxide semiconductor wafer including an exposed silicon dioxide layer, in an ambient of flowing oxygen gas, to heating radiation from a halogen lamp for a duration on the order of 100 seconds to achieve annealing temperature on the order of 1000C. For reduced hole trapping, the ambient gas is oxygen and the annealing temperature is on the order of 1000C for a duration on the order of 100 seconds, depending on the oxide thickness. Nitrogen, occurring at the silicon-silicon dioxide interface as a result of previous processing including a long anneal in nitrogen, increases the improvement of the silicon dioxide by the subsequent rapid thermal annealing in oxygen.

A process for the manufacture of a gallium rich gallium nitride film is described. The process comprises (a) preparing a reaction mixture containing a gallium species and a nitrogen species, the gallium species and the nitrogen species being selected such that, when they react with each other, gallium nitride is formed; and (b) growing the gallium rich gallium nitride film from the reaction mixture, by allowing the gallium species to react with the nitrogen species and to deposit gallium nitride on a substrate selected from the group consisting of silicon, glass, sapphire, quartz and crystalline materials having a lattice constant closely matched to gallium nitride, including zinc oxide, optionally with a zinc oxide buffer layer, at a temperature of from about 480° C. to about 900° C. and in the presence of a gaseous environment in which the partial pressure of oxygen is less than 10 -4 Torr, wherein the ratio of gallium atoms to nitrogen atoms in the gallium rich gallium nitride film is from 1.01 to 1.20. The invention also provides the option of annealing the gallium rich gallium nitride film at a temperature of from about 20° C. to about 650° C. and for a time sufficient to decrease the resistivity of the film so that it becomes electrically conductive, for instance to a resistivity below 100 ohm.cm.
