Resumen:

Two types of MOS structures, c-Si/SiOx/Al and c-Si/SiO 2/SiOx/Al (x = 1.15 and 1.3) were prepared by thermal evaporation of silicon monoxide with thickness of ~ 100 nm on Si substrate or on thermal oxide. The effect of the annealing conditions on the gate dielectric properties was studied by TEM, FTIR and I-V measurements. Cross-sectional TEM revealed that a two-step annealing process at 1000 °C, first in N 2 and then in N2+O2 atmosphere leads to formation of two regions in the SiOx layer: a homogeneous amorphous region, free of nanocrystals close to the top surface and a region with nanocrystals underneath it. FTIR and electrical measurements showed that the top region is with properties close to that of stoichiometric SiO2.
