Limited reaction processing: In-situ metal—oxide—semiconductor capacitors

Limited reaction processing (LRP) has been used to fabricate in-situ silicon-silicon dioxide-polycrystalline silicon layers for metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors. The process consists of multiple in-situ rapid thermal processing steps to grow or deposit different layers. Capacitors have been fabricated from these layers and analyzed by capacitance-voltage measurements for interfacial fixed charge and interface state density. The capacitors exhibit excellent characteristics.
