Popis: We present a comparison of SHG-measurements at the Si/SiO2-interface with electrical characterization to demonstrate the ability of non-linear optical methods for the analysis of interfaces. The Si/SiO2-interfaces under investigation are deposited oxides on Si(001) substrate which were treated in a rapid thermal processing (RTP) chamber. The variation of oxide process parameters, namely the temperature of the post deposition annealing (PDA)-temperature and cooling rates result in a variation of the amplitude of the non-linear optical radiation from the Si/SiO2-interface. Standard electrical characterization of identical samples reveal correlated changes in the defect concentration at and near the interface. These results show that the method of SHG may provide a fast and non-destructive characterization- and process-control-tool for in situ parameter analysis during gate-oxide processing.
