Vr. Rao et al., NEUTRAL ELECTRON TRAP GENERATION UNDER IRRADIATION IN REOXIDIZED NITRIDED GATE DIELECTRICS, I.E.E.E. transactions on electron devices, 43(9), 1996, pp. 1467-1470
In this study we report for the first time results on neutral electron
trap generation in reoxidised nitrided oxide dielectrics under variou
s radiation doses and bias conditions and compare the results with the
conventional oxides. We see very little electron trap creation in RNO
dielectrics for radiation doses upto 5 Mrad (Si) and for bias fields
up to +/-2.5 MV/cm. We explain our results in RNO and oxide dielectric
s using a three step defect creation model.
