Abstract
The reliability of oxide and reoxidized-nitrided oxide (RNO) gate dielectrics was examined by comparing the low frequency noise characteristics at low temperature of p-channel devices before and after positive F-N stress. The RNO devices were found to have a better noise performance after F-N stress and were also found to have less interface state generation due to the warm-up process. However, the creation of negative fixed charge in RNO devices has a severe effect on the threshold voltage.
