Ultra Thin Film Processes, High - k Dielectrics

This one day course will provide a detail discussion of the current and future gate dielectrics. The course will first discuss the fundamentals of SiO2 and Si/SiO2 interface, followed by an overview of oxide characterization techniques, reliability and lifetime extrapolation, and process-induced damages. We will also discuss alternative gate oxide processes, including oxynitrides, nitrides and high-k gate dielectrics. Poly-depletion and quantum mechanical effects will also be covered.
