Abstract

MOSFETs with 70-110 AA thick furnace N2O-annealed gate oxides are examined at both room and liquid nitrogen temperatures. The N2O anneal not only improves device performance, e.g. by increasing the high normal field mobility and current drivability, but it also suppresses degradation induced by Fowler-Nordheim and channel hot-carrier injection. Random telegraph noise measurements reveal a possible correlation between the interface properties and the mobility.
