AbstractLow-energy (550 eV) argon-ion beam was used to bombard directly the backsurface of polysilicon-gate metaloxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors after the completion of all conventional processing steps. The effects of this extra step on the interface characteristics of the MOS capacitors before and after hot-electron injection were investigated. After the backsurface argon-ion bombardment, the MOS capacitors showed improved interface hardness against hot-electron-induced degradation. A turn-around behavior was observed, indicating that an optimal bombardment time should be used. The physical mechanism involved could possibly be stress compensation at the Si/SiO2 interface, induced by the backsurface bombardment. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
