Abstract

In the CMOS technology, silicon rounding technique is often an essential part of fabrication. There have been some studies about hydrogen annealing process in a silicon fin. But the previous studies have been done in relatively large silicon fins (200 nm - 1 μm). In this study, effect of hydrogen annealing in a nanoscale fin (30 nm - 100 nm) is investigated. There is significant difference between large width fin and small width fin. Especially, in the smaller fin, not only silicon self-diffusion but also silicon etch phenomenon become important.
