Abstract

We have characterised the effects of ion implantation in advanced MOSFETs, and have shown that severe gate oxide degradations can be induced by ion implantations used routinely in front-end processing of MOS transistors. The mechanisms of oxide degradation are revealed to be connected to the nuclear energy transfer to the O atoms in the oxide during implantation. Si and O ion mixing can result in significant increase of the effective oxide thickness which also result in intrinsic device performance degradation.
