Abstract

Polysilicon capacitors with pyrogenic oxide and TEOX oxide as insulators were fabricated to develop capacitors which can be applied to analog CMOS IC, and the characteristics of the capacitors were compared with each other. The morphology of bottom polysilicon in pyrogenic oxide capacitor is degraded due to the generaged protuberances of the polysilicon grain during oxidataion. The polysilican capacitor with pyrogenic oxide of 57 nm thickness showed that the effective potential barrier height of 0.45 eV is much less than that of MOS capacitor (3.2 eV)when the top electrode is biased with a positive volgate. The morphology of the polysilicon capacitor with TEOS oxide, however, was not degraded during oxide deposition by LPCVD. The polysilicon capacitor with TEOS oxide of 54 nm thickness showed the effective potential barrier height of 1.28 eV when the top electrode is biased with a negative voltage. Therefore, it is concluded that the polysilicon capacitor with TEOS oxide is more applicable to analog CMOS IC than the pyrogenic oxide polysilicon capacitor.
