Abstract-A low-energy oxygen ion beam with energy below 100 eV has been applied to the oxidation of unheated silicon substrates. Ultrathin ( -45 A) FET-gate-quality oxides have been produced for the first time at room temperature using this technique. The high electrical quality of the oxides is demonstrated by the successful fabrication of n-channel MOSFET's.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
