This work reports on the physical and electrical characterization of the oxide/semiconductor interface in MOS capacitors with the SiO 2 layer deposited by a high temperature process from dichlorosilane and nitrogen-based vapor precursors and subjected to a post deposition annealing process in N 2 O. Low interface state density (D it≈ 9.0× 10 11 cm− 2 eV− 1) was found at 0.2 eV from EC, which is comparable to the values typically obtained in other lower temperature deposited oxides (eg, TEOS). A barrier ...
