This study describes the low temperature process to form the gate oxide of MOSFETs using a SiO nano-powder and post UV oxidation. The high-quality SiO<inf>2</inf>gate oxide was successfully formed on a silicon substrate by vacuum evaporation of the SiO nano-powder followed by the post UV oxidation in steam at 200 °C. However, further lowering of the oxidation temperature to 150 °C degraded the insulating property and increased the interface trap density. In order to improve the SiO<inf>2</inf>/Si interface quality, the Si surface was irradiated by vacuum UV (VUV) using a Xe excimer lamp before evaporation of the SiO nano-powder. This substrate treatment has substantially improved the SiO<inf>2</inf>/Si interface quality. The physical mechanisms of the VUV and UV oxidation are discussed in order to understand the low-temperature formation of the SiO<inf>2</inf>.
