Abstract

The fundamental connection between desorption of H/D at silicon surfaces and at oxide/silicon interfaces was addressed. Multiple heating vibrational mechanism played an important role for hot-carrier-induced desorption of H/D at the interface in deep submicron devices. The results support the hypothesis of Si-H(D) bond strength variation at the oxide/silicon interfaces.
