Abstract

This paper discusses the effects of Al contamination on SiO₂/Si interface characteristics. The interface state density increases as the Al contamination level increases, and the influence is greater when the oxide layer becomes thinner. This is because contaminating Al is segregated in the oxide layer and remains very close to the oxide surface. Since Al is, and will continue to be, the most widely used material for process equipments, Al contamination control might become one of the key issues in achieving future giga-scale ULSIs.
