Abstrakt: Investigates the impact of copper contamination on the quality of silicon oxides. Correlation between gate oxide areas with low breakdown fields located in a pinhole detector with the contaminated areas revealed by Secco defect etching; Relation of the failure mechanism to the formation of copper-rich precipitates at the silicon dioxide/silicon interface; Information on two different mechanisms observed, depending on the in-diffusion temperature.
