摘要
Thin thermally grown silicon oxides are implanted with a high dose of silicon using very low energy ion implantation. After high temperature annealing, the oxides are observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy which reveals the existence of silicon nano-crystals. The electrical properties of metal-oxide-semiconductor devices are then investigated using dynamic conductance as well as de current measurements.
