Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate an application of the micro corona‐Kelvin metrology to monitoring of the electrical properties of silicon oxynitrides prepared with a plasma nitridation process currently used for advanced gate dielectrics. Key measurement parameters to be discussed are: dielectric capacitance equivalent thickness (CET), dielectric voltage in valence band tunneling range (VB), interface trapped charge (Qit) and flatband voltage.
