Popis: | N2O annealing of oxides in both Si and SiC is known to result in a similar accumulation of nitrogen at the semiconductor-oxide interface, but the reoxidation of oxynitrides is different in these materials. With Si, the nitrogen at the interfl£e is unaffected upon re-oxidation even under high oxidant flow conditions. With SiC, as shown in this paper, complete depletion of the nitrogen from the interface is observed with the re-oxidation of SiC oxynitrides for both 3C and 4H polytypes. The depletion of the nitrogen from the interface is strongly dependent on the re-oxidation temperature. Results are described and a possible mechanism proposed. |
