Interface trap generation and recovery mechanisms during and after positive bias stress in metal-oxide-semiconductor structures

Interface trap ( N it ) generation and their partial recovery during and after cessation of the positive bias-temperature stress (PBTS) in n -type metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors have been investigated. The analysis of experimental results indicates that N it creation is caused by the depassiva...

description Interface trap ( N it ) generation and their partial recovery during and after cessation of the positive bias-temperature stress (PBTS) in n -type metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors have been investigated. The analysis of experimental results indicates that N it creation is caused by the depassivation of Si 3 ≡ Si - H bonds at the Si/SiO 2 interface by the atomic neutral hydrogen (H 0 ) cracked via electron impact at or near gate/oxide interface during electron injection from the substrate. N it recovery after interruption of the stress is due to back diffusion of H 2 species toward the Si/SiO 2 interface and repassivation of Si 3 ≡ Si * dangling bonds. We propose that in absence of holes, a modified one dimensional reaction-diffusion (R-D) model following three step degradation sequences can qualitatively explain the generation and the recovery of N it during and after PBTS.
