Patent abstract
A device, such as a nonvolatile memory device, and methods for forming the device in an integrated process tool are provided. The method includes depositing a tunnel oxide layer on a substrate, exposing the tunnel oxide layer to a plasma so that the plasma alters a morphology of a surface and near surface of the tunnel oxide to form a plasma altered near surface. Nanocrystals are then deposited on the altered surface of the tunnel oxide.
