Abstract-Complementary MOS device electrical performances are considerably affected by the degradation of the oxide layers and Si/SiO 2 interfaces. A general expression for electrically stressed MOS impedance has been derived and applied within the nonradiative multiphonon theory of carrier capture/emission at oxide defects. The capacitance and the conductance of aged MOS field-effect transistor oxides, and their dependences on bias voltage, temperature, and stress conditions have been investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
