M. Koh et al., QUANTITATIVE-ANALYSIS OF RADIATION-INDUCED SI SIO2 INTERFACE DEFECTS BY MEANS OF MEV HE SINGLE-ION IRRADIATION/, Applied physics letters, 68(11), 1996, pp. 1552-1554
Generation rates of Si/SiO2 interface defects, namely, the oxide trapp
ed holes and the interface states, by MeV He single ion irradiation ha
ve been investigated quantitatively. From the analysis of threshold vo
ltage shifts induced by single ions of 2 MeV He, the number of the oxi
de trapped holes and the interface states induced in an n-ch MOSFET in
CMOS4007 by a single ion have been estimated to be about 28 and 9, re
spectively. The hole trapping efficiency is almost 100% at the ion dos
e below 1 ions/mu m(2). (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
