After the dry oxidation of the film, the grown oxide has a thickness of 25 nm, and the doping concentration of the film increased by one order of magnitude. The minority carrier generation mechanism was detected. Its activation energy (554 meV), denotes the high-quality of the interfaces. A deep level (315 meV) was found by DLTS. The most probable sources of this trap are mainly the divacancy-phosphorus complexes presented in the Si film. The concentration of dislocations in Si film is very low (< 105 cm-2). Bias-temperature stress (BTS) showed the presence of a low concentration of positive charges (2.2 × 109 cm-2) in the oxide. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved." }
