Abstract

A simple two-terminal cyclic current-voltage(I-V) technique is used to measure the current-transients in MOS capacitors. Distinct charging/discharging currents were measured and analyzed as a function of (1) the hold time. (2) the gate polarity during the FNT electron injection, (3) the injection fluence and (4) the annealing time after the injection had stopped. Discharging and charging current-transients were strongly dependent upon the conditions for forming the inversion layer and the density of interface traps caused during the FNT electron injection, respectively. Several tentative mechanisms were suggested in the current work.
