- 10. Microelectron. Reliability 45, 57 (2005) , “Characterization of interface defects related to negative-bias temperature instability SiON/Si<100> systems ”,Interface defects related to negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) in an ultrathin plasma-nitrided SiON/ Si<100> system were characterized by using conductance–frequency measurements, electron-spin resonance measure- ments, and synchrotron radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was confirmed that NBTI is reduced by using D2-annealing instead of the usual H2-annealing. Interfacial Si dangling bonds (Pb1 and Pb0 centers) were detected in a sample subjected to negative-bias temperature stress (NBTS). Although we suggest that NBTS also generates non-Pb defects, it does not seem to generate nitrogen dangling bonds. These results show that NBTI of the plasma-nitrided SiON/Si system is predominantly due to Pb depassivation. Plasma nitridation was also found to increase the Pb1/Pb0 density ratio, modify the Pb1 defect structure, and increase the latent interface trap density by generating Si suboxides at the interface. These changes are likely to be the causes of NBTI in ultrathin plasma-nitrided SiON/Si systems. (Read more)
- 11. J. Appl. Phys. 95, 4096 (2004) , “Nitridation effects on Pb center structures at SiO2/Si„(100) interfaces ”,Interfacial defect structures of NO-nitride oxide on Si(100) were characterized by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. We confirmed that the effective g values of the Pb1 center are affected by interfacial nitridation even at a small nitrogen concentration of 5 at. %, while those of the Pb0 center proved to be unchanged. We observed that the shifted Pb1 line appeared gradually with interfacial nitrogen concentration, which suggests that the nitrogen-induced modified structure substitutes for the original Pb1 structure. Angular variations of the shifted Pb1 lines were also significantly different from those of pure oxide. Based on our analysis, we attributed the g value shift of the Pb1 center to dangling bond tilting, caused by the displacement of nearest-neighbor Si atoms. (Read more)

WeilThe dynamic process due to electron jumping among three states with different sp hybrid directions in the quasitetrahedral P4+ center [PO4]0 in a-quartz has been investigated by 10-GHz electron paramagnetic resonance, over the temperature range 40 to 400 K. The relative populations (mole fractions ƒІ and ƒІІ) of the ground state P(І) and two degenerate thermally excited states P(ІІ) were determined from the measured EPR absorption line intensity ratios and from the line positions of the averaged state P(A), respectively, in the slow and fast kinetic regions. The temperature dependence of the mole fractions has been explained by considering vibrational sublevels in the potential well describing each state. The jump rate was also obtained, via EPR absorption line-width analysis based on the Bloch equations, in both the slow and the fast regions. The characteristic parameters of the dynamic process, Le., energy separation and vibrational sublevels of the ground and excited states, and barrier height between these, have been determined.

WeilDynamic averaging due to electron jumping among three states with different sp hybrid directions in the P4+ center [PO4]0 in α-quartz has been studied by single-crystal electron paramagnetic resonance.
