Ultrathin (<5 nm) dielectric films have been grown on (100) silicon wing rapid thermal Processing (RTp) in a ping properties, and interface state generation during Fowlerelectron injection have been investigated. The films grown in NO have excellent electrical properties. These properties are explained in terms of a much stronger and large number of Si-N bonds in both the bulk of the dielectric films and at the Si-Si02 interface region. The leakage currents are at least three orders of magnitude lower than other reported results for similar thicknesses. The dielectric films grown in NO ambient are viewed as promising ...
