    摘要: A semiconductor device has at least two tensile stressor layers that are cured with UV radiation. A second tensile stressor layer is formed after a first stressor layer. In some examples, the tensile stressor layers include silicon nitride and hydrogen. In some examples, the second tensile stressor layer has a greater shrinkage percentage due to the curing than the first tensile stressor layer. In one form, the second tensile stressor layer after the curing exerts a greater tensile stress than the first tensile stressor layer. The tensile stressors layers are utilized to improve carrier mobility in an N-channel transistor and thus enhance transistor performance. In one form a single group of overlying tensile stressor layers is provided with each layer being increasingly thicker and having increasingly more hydrogen prior to being cured. In other embodiments multiple overlying groups are formed, each group having a similar repeating depth and hydrogen profile.

    摘要: 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.
