Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy as a Probe of Local Atomic Structure: Application to Amorphous Si O 2 and the Si-Si O 2 Interface
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical structure of thin Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ films and Si${O}$-Si interfaces has been investigated using high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local atomic and electronic structure of oxide/GaAs and SiO2/Si interfaces using high-resolution XPS
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical structures of thin SiO2 films, thin native oxides of GaAs (20-30 A), and the respective oxide-semiconductor interfaces, have been investigated using high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strain‐dependent defect formation kinetics and a correlation between flatband voltage and nitrogen distribution in thermally nitrided SiOxNy/Si structures
R. P. Vasquez,Anupam Madhukar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a correlation between the nitridation condition dependent nitrogen distribution and the magnitude of the flatband voltage shift in SiOxNy/Si structures is identified and an explanation proposed in terms of a strain-dependent kinetics of formation of defects near the interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of the Al/SiO2 interface
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical and physical properties of the interface between bulk SiO2 and thin aluminum films were measured using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrical measurements of unannealed, resistively evaporated Al films on thermal SiO 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of the chemical structure of thermally nitrided SiO2
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study the composition of 100-A thermally grown SiO2 films that have been thermally nitrided in ammonia.
