title: Influence of silicon dioxide-silicon interface trap charges on the performance of monolithic metal-zinc oxide-silicon nitride-silicon dioxide-silicon convolver.
abstract: An enhancement in the convolution efficiency is obtained by annihilating the SiO2-Si interface trap charges in the metal-ZnO-Si3N4-SiO2-Si convolver structure. The annealing process uses a source of hydrogen created underneath the SiO2-Si interface by implanting H3(+) ion followed by rapid thermal anneal of 5s at 900 degrees C. The silicon nitride layer is inducted to protect ZnO films from hydrogen influx during low temperature oxygen anneal.
