Abstract

In this paper the effect of Fe, on gate oxide integrity (GOI) is discussed. It is demonstrated that the effect of Fe on GOI is strongly dependent on the silicon substrate. Therefore different kinds of wafers have been used. Whereas the Fe-contaminated wafers show circular patterns of degraded GOI performance, such patterns could not be observed on clean reference wafers. The GOI performance of the Fe-contaminated wafers is described using a new comprehensive statistical model.
