17. Based on nitrogen depth profiling experiments [K. Kimura, K. Nakajima, Y. Okazaki, H. Kobayashi, S. Miwa, and K. Satori, Jpn. J. Appl. Phys., Part 1 39, 4663 (2000)], we assume that the grafting chemistry of DTS on SiON is similar to that on Si O2.

22. For SiON devices, Rsd ranges from 6 to 40 M consistent with reported values for DH4T [G. Horowitz, R. Hajlaoui, D. Fichou, and A. El Kassmi, J. Appl. Phys. 85, 3202 (1999)]. Systematic lower Rsd values for the SiON/DTS transistors by a factor of 2 or more were observed, likely originating from the presence of a DTS monolayer on Pd electrodes as confirmed by ellipsometry and contact angle measurements.
