미래의 ULSI 소자의 게이트 산화막으로 이용하기 위하여 $N_{2}$O 가스 분위기에서 기존의 전기로를 이용한 실리콘의 열산화에 의해 $N_{2}$O 산화막을 형성하였고 MOS 소자를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. 900.deg.C에서 90분간 산화한 $N_{2}$O 산화막의 경우, 플랫밴드 전압( $V_{FB}$ ), 고정전하밀도 ( $N_{f}$)와 플랫밴드 전압의 변화량(.DELTA. $V_{FB}$ )은 각각 0.81[V], 6.7x$10^{10}$[$cm^{-2}$]와 80~95[mV]를 나타내었다. $N_{2}$O 산화막의 전기전도기구는 저전계 영역에서는 Fowler-Nordheim 터널링, 고전계영역에서는 Poole-Frenkel 방출이 지배적으로 나타났고 절연파괴전계는 16[MV/cm]로 높게 나타났다. 따라서 $N_{2}$O 산화로 형성된 게이트 산화막이 ULSI소자의 게이트 유전체로 응용이 가능하리라 생각된다..

The double nitride layer Metal Nitride Oxide Semiconductor(MNOS) structures were fabricated by variating both gas ratio and nitride thickness, and by duplicating nitride deposited and one nitride layer MNOS structure to improve nonvolatile memory characteristics of MNOS structures by Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition(LPCVD) method. The nonvolatile memory characteristics of write-in, erase, memory retention and degradation of Bias Temperature Stress(BTS) were investigated by the homemade automatic .DELTA. $V_{FB}$ measuring system. In the trap density double nitride layer structures were higher by 0.85*10$^{16}$ $m^{-2}$ than one nitride layer structure, and the AVFB with oxide field was linearly increased. However, one nitride layer structure was linearly increased and saturated above 9.07*10$^{8}$ V/m in oxide field. In the erase behavior, the hole injection from silicon instead of the trapped electron emission was observed, and also it was highly dependent upon the pulse amplitude and the pulse width. In the memory retentivity, double nitrite layer structures were superior to one nitride layer structure, and the decay rate of the trapped electron with increasing temperature was low. At increasing the number on BTS, the variance of AVFB of the double nitride layer structures was smaller than that of one nitride layer structure, and the trapped electron retention rate was high. In this paper, the double nitride layer structures were turned out to be useful in improving the nonvolatile memory characteristics.
