- 1. Appl. Phys. Lett. 89, 112121 (2006) , “Nature and stability of the (100)Si/LaAlO3 interface probed by paramagnetic defects”, A. Stesmans, K. Clémer, V. V. Afanas'ev, L. F. Edge, and D. G. SchlomElectron spin resonance analysis of (100)Si/LaAlO3 structures reveals the absence of a Si/SiO2-type interface in terms of archetypal Si-dangling bond-type Si/SiO2 interface defects (Pb0,Pb1). With no... (Read more)
- 2. J. Appl. Phys. 100, 094108 (2006) , “The effect of interfacial layer properties on the performance of Hf-based gate stack devices”, G. Bersuker, C. S. Park, J. Barnett, P. S. Lysaght, P. D. Kirsch, C. D. Young, R. Choi, B. H. Lee, B. Foran, K. van Benthem, S. J. Pennycook, P. M. Lenahan, and J. T. RyanThe influence of Hf-based dielectrics on the underlying SiO2 interfacial layer (IL) in high-k gate stacks is investigated. An increase in the IL dielectric constant, which correlates to an increase of the positive fixed charge density in the IL, is found to depend on the starting,... (Read more)
- 3. 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)
- 4. 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)

Lett. 82, 3677-3679 (2003) , “Interface defects responsible for negative-bias temperature instability in plasma-nitrided SiON/Si(100) systems”, Shinji Fujieda, Yoshinao Miura, and Motofumi SaitohInterface defects generated by negative-bias temperature stress (NBTS) in an ultrathin plasma- nitrided SiON/Si(100) system were characterized by using D2 annealing, conductance-frequency measurements, and electron-spin resonance measurements. D2 annealing was shown to lower... (Read more)
- 6. Appl. Phys. Lett. 80, 1945-1947 (2002) , “Density of states of Pb1 Si/SiO2 interface trap centers”, J. P. Campbell and P. M. LenahanThe electronic properties of the (100) Si/SiO2 interfacial defect called Pb1 are quite controversial. We present electron spin resonance measurements that demonstrate: (1) that the Pb1 defects have levels in the silicon band gap, (2) that... (Read more)

StesmansOptical injection of electron-hole pairs in 35 nm thick layers of SiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2 and their stacks on (100)Si is found to result in positive oxide charging, suggesting trapping of holes. In thin layers of the high-permittivity metal oxides... (Read more)
- 8. Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 2745-2748 (1994) , “Atomic Hydrogen Reactions with Pb Centers at the (100) Si/SiO2 Interface”, J. H. Stathis, E. CartierWe have investigated the reaction of atomic hydrogen with defects at the (100) Si/SiO2 interface. Similar to previous results on the (111) interface, we find that the two paramagnetic defects at the (100) interface, Pb0 and Pb1, are either passivated or produced by... (Read more)
