Gate Oxide Growth<br />

• Need two gate oxide t ox ’s – thin <strong>for</strong> core FET & thick <strong>for</strong> I/O FET<br />

gate oxide<br />

• Oxide is grown, not deposited<br />

• Need high-qu<strong>al</strong>ity Si-SiO 2 interface with low Q f & D it<br />

• Gate oxide is re<strong>al</strong>ly made of silicon oxynitride (SiO x N y )<br />

• Nitrogen prevents boron diffusion from p+ poly <strong>to</strong> channel<br />

• Improves GOI (gate oxide integrity) reliability<br />

• Side benefit – increased ox<br />
