ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a nitrided silicon oxide layer. The method includes: forming a silicon dioxide layer on a surface of a silicon substrate; performing a rapid thermal nitridation of the silicon dioxide layer at a temperature of less than or equal to about 900° C. and a pressure greater than about 500 Torr to form an initial nitrided silicon oxide layer; and performing a rapid thermal oxidation or anneal of the initial nitrided silicon oxide layer at a temperature of less than or equal to about 900° C. and a pressure greater than about 500 Torr to form a nitrided silicon oxide layer. Also a method of forming a MOSFET with a nitrided silicon oxide dielectric layer.
