✦ Synopsis

This paper reviews recent progress in structural and electronic characterizations of ultrathin SiO 2 thermally grown on Si(100) surfaces and applications of such nanometer-thick gate oxides to advanced MOSFETs and quantum-dot MOS memory devices. Based on an accurate energy band profile determined for the n + -poly-Si/SiO 2 /Si(100) system, the measured tunnel current through ultrathin gate oxides has been quantitatively explained by theory. From the detailed analysis of MOSFET characteristics, the scaling limit of gate oxide thickness is found to be 0.8 nm. Novel MOSFETs with a silicon quantum-dot floating gate embedded in the gate oxide have indicated the multiple-step electron injection to the dot, being interpreted in terms of Coulombic interaction among charged dots.

Silicon gate compatibility problems with hafnium-based gate dielectrics are reported. It generally can be stated that chemical vapor deposition (CVD) silicon gates using silane deposited directly onto polycrystalline HfO at conventional 2 temperatures (near 620 8C) results in (1) a low density of la
