摘要
The absolute nitrogen concentration in SiO(x)N(y)/Si films grown by rapid thermal oxidation in N2O has been determined by nuclear reaction analysis. Compared with conventional surface analysis methods, i.e., Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and secondary ion mass spectrometry, the nuclear reaction N-14(d,alpha)C-12 provides more accurate depth profiles of N-14 due to the quantitative nature-of the technique and its high sensitivity, approximately 6.0 X 10(13) atoms cm2. Silicon oxynitride films prepared under various conditions, specifically different growing temperatures and times, were analyzed. Nitrogen is observed to accumulate in a narrow region in the oxynitride (within less than or similar 2.5 nm) close to the interface; the total amount of nitrogen increases with increasing temperature and growth time.
