Abstract

Rapid thermal processing is a promising tool for studying the kinetics of interface state annealing and other process phenomena on short time scales. We have studied the decay of interface states with a variety of ambients, temperatures, and oxide thicknesses. Annealing kinetics appear to be controlled by a surface reaction process, and not hydrogen diffusion through the oxide. The annealing behavior depends strongly on temperature but less so on other process parameters. Our experimental methodology for temporal process modeling is discussed.
