Abstract
ABSTRACTThe in-situ processing of silicon dielectrics by rapid thermal processing (RTP) is described. RTP includes here three basic sequentially performed processes: wafer cleaning, oxidation and annealing. The insitu cleaning allows for reduction of chemical and native oxides and silicon surface chemical polish, resulting in interface density of states as low as 5×l09 cm-2eV-1. Kinetics of oxide growth indicates an activation energy of 1.4 eV for the initial linear oxidation rate.
