Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an oxide layer which includes graded portions with greatly reduced stress on a silicon substrate. SOLUTION: This method comprises a first step where a first oxide portion 31 is grown by upwardly ramping a silicon substrate 22 to a a first temperature lower than a SiO2 viscoelastic temperature, and the silicon substrate 22 is subjected to an oxidizing atmosphere at the first temperature and for a first time period and a second step where a second oxide portion 32 is grown between the first oxide portion and the silicon substrate by exposing the substrate 22 to an oxidizing atmosphere at a second temperature higher than the SiO2 viscoelastic temperature and for a second time period. The second oxide portion 32 may have a thickness in a range of about 25 to 50% of a total thickness of the graded oxide layer.

Abstract: A gate oxide is fabricated in a multi stage process in which an oxide layer is formed initially at a first temperature below the viscoelastic temperature of silicon oxide, and subsequently at a second high temperature above the viscoelastic temperature of silicon oxide. This process provides an oxide film comprising first and second portions 31,32, where the first silicon oxide portion 31 comprises between 25-98% of the total oxide thickness, and the second oxide portion 32 is more amorphous and more dense than the first portion. The ultrathin gate oxides (less than 2.5nm) have low interface trap density (less than 5x10 10 cm 2 ), low stress (less than 2x10 9 dynes/cm 2 ), and low defect densities (less than 0.1 defects / cm 2 ).

Abstract: The method of making graded oxide gate electrodes with reduced stress comprises growing a first oxide portion 31 at a temperature lower than the viscoelastic temperature of SiO 2 (925{C), pref.750-900{C; growing a second oxide portion 32 between the first oxide portion 31 and the substrate 22 by exposing the substrate to a second temperature, higher than the viscoelastic temperature, pref 925-1100{C. The second oxide may have a thickness of 25-50% of the entire oxide layer, which may be less than 50Ñ thick. The necessary substrate temperatures are preferably achieved by upwardly ramping the substrate by more than 35{C per minute to reduce oxide formation at intermediate temperatures. An additional nitride layer or high dielectric layer (pref. Ta 2 O 5 ) may be formed.

Abstract: A method for making an oxide layer on a silicon substrate produces an oxide layer including graded portions with greatly reduced stress. The method includes growing a first oxide portion over a substrate by upwardly ramping the substrate to a first temperature lower than a SiO2 viscoelastic temperature. Thereafter a second oxide portion is grown between the first oxide portion and the silicon substrate by exposing the silicon substrate to an oxidizing ambient at a second temperature higher than the SiO2 viscoelastic temperature. The second oxide portion may have a thickness in a range of about 25 to 50% of a total thickness of the graded oxide layer.

Abstract: A first oxide portion 31 is formed by ramping the process temperature at two ramping rates to a first temperature below the viscoelastic temperature of silicon dioxide. A second oxide portion 32 is formed by ramping the process temperature further to a second temperature above the viscoelastic temperature of silicon dioxide using two ramping rates. A high K dielectric layer 33 may be provided between the conductive gate 26 and the graded oxide layer 30.
