    Abstract: An insulating layer formed by deposition is annealed in the presence of radical oxygen to reduce bond defects. A substrate is provided. An oxide layer is deposited overlying the substrate. The oxide layer has a plurality of bond defects. The oxide layer is annealed in the presence of radical oxygen to modify a substantial portion of the plurality of bond defects by using oxygen atoms. The anneal, in one form, is an in-situ steam generation (ISSG) anneal. In one form, the insulating layer overlies a layer of charge storage material, such as nanoclusters, that form a gate structure of a semiconductor storage device. The ISSG anneal repairs bond defects by oxidizing defective silicon bonds in the oxide layer when the oxide layer is silicon dioxide.

    Abstract: A method of making a high quality thin dielectric layer includes annealing a substrate and a base oxide layer overlying a top surface of the substrate at a first temperature in a first ambient and annealing the substrate and base oxide layer at a second temperature in a second ambient subsequent to the first anneal. The first ambient includes an inert gas ambient selected from the group consisting of a nitrogen, argon, and helium ambient. Prior to the first anneal, the base oxide layer has an initial thickness and an initial density. The first anneal causes a first density and thickness change in the base oxide layer from the initial thickness and density to a first thickness and density, with no incorporation of nitrogen, argon, or helium of the ambient within the base oxide layer. The first thickness is less than the initial thickness and the first density is greater than the initial density. The second anneal causes a second density and thickness change in the base oxide layer from the first thickness and density to a second thickness and density. The second thickness is larger than the first thickness and the second density is on the order of the greater than or equal to the first density.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a high dielectric constant material over a semiconductor substrate, forming a conductive material over the high dielectric constant material, and performing an anneal in a non-oxidizing ambient using ultraviolet radiation to remove defects in the high dielectric constant material. Examples of a non-oxidizing ambient include for example nitrogen, deuterium, a deuterated forming gas (N2/D2), helium, argon or a combination of any two or more of these. Additional anneals using ultraviolet radiation may be performed. These additional anneals may occur in non-oxidizing or oxidizing ambients.
