Measuring radiation effects on MOS capacitors

Electron injection technique serves as powerful probe of trapped hole distribution after irradiation because it was determined that electrons only annihilate trapped holes. Other effects, such as other electron traps and interface state generation, are negligible in injection range used. Trap cross sections and densities indicate at least three trap species; interfacial species, dominant bulk species determined to tail off from silicon interface, and lower density and cross section species that may be distributed throughout bulk of oxide.

Trapping effects in irradiated and avalanche-injected MOS capacitors

The trapping parameters for holes, and for electrons in the presence of trapped holes, have been measured from a set of wafers with different oxide thickness processed under controlled conditions. The trap cross-sections and densities indicate at least three trap species, including an interfacial species, a dominant bulk species which is determined to tail off from the silicon interface, and a third, lower density bulk species that is distributed throughout the oxide.
