- 7. 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)

- 14. Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 40, 2840 (2001) , “Spin-Dependent Trap-Assisted Tunneling Current in Ultra-Thin Gate Dielectrics”,We have characterized the leakage current paths of ultra-thin gate dielectrics using spin-dependent tunneling (SDT) spectroscopy. A spin-dependent current was detected in metal-oxide-semiconductor diodes with chemical-vapor-deposition SiN gate films with thickness less than 3 nm. We examined the nature of the trap sites in terms of g-value, bias-dependent signal intensity, and magnetic-field orientation dependence. The main feature of the observed spectrum is attributed to a paramagnetic Si site in the SiN films. By using a quantitative model of electron spin-polarization, we were able to estimate the ratio of trap-assisted current to the total leakage current. (Read more)
