Abstract

Through combined experimental and theoretical investigations, it was shown that N adsorption occurs extraordinarily. Such characteristic N incorporation may also explain the mechanism of the SiOxNy/Si(100) interface formation with N-rich Si layers. This result shows a possibility of new low-temperature process design for ultrathin oxynitride/nitride dielectric layers.
