Abstract

We have constructed an Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) multichamber system and have deposited ‘gate quality’ silicon dioxide by the remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (Remote PECVD) process at low substrate temperatures (Ts ≤400 °C). Native oxides and other surface contaminants are removed under ultra high vacuum (UHV) conditions and the character of the semiconductor surface is determined prior to film deposition using in-situ Reflection High Energy Electron Defraction (RHEED). Measurents made on MOS structures of capacitance-voltage, current-voltage, field break-down, hysteresis, and mobile ion drift indicate that these films are ‘comparable’ to thermally (Ts >1100 °C) grown oxides. The structural properties of the films arg studied by ir spectroscopy and ellipsometry.
