Abstract(in English) This paper is focused on the new method to improve gate oxide reliability in MOSFET, which is related to deuterium incorporation. Low-energy implantation of D^+ ions was achieved at the back-end of process line (BEOL). The D^+ ions could reach near the gate oxide, SiO_2, region, and passivate some of traps or defects through the chemical bond with Si or O atom. Our result was also compared with that of the conventional H^+ passivation method. Device parameter variations as well as the gate leakage current depend on the degradation of gate oxide and are improved by our deuterium incorporation method. However, when the concentration of deuterium is redundant in gate oxide, excess traps are generated and degrades the performance. Our results suggest the new passivation process that gives enhanced device reliability, and can be implemented conveniently in the standard CMOS process.
