Abstract
An overview is given of the first demonstration of the large hydrogen/deuterium isotope effect and an optimized deuterium anneal process for manufacturing multi-level metal/dielectric MOS systems resulting in 50-100 fold improvement in channel hot carrier lifetime. The proposed deuterium post-metal anneal process is suitable for manufacturing high performance CMOS products and fully compatible with traditional integrated circuit processes.
