Abstract
A phenomenological model of switching traps in irradiated metal-oxide- semiconductor (MOS) structures is presented. After electron capture, E (gamma)' center is supposed to be transformed into new defect that is responsible for switching behavior. This new defect is assumed to have two energy levels (acceptor- and donor-like) and could easily communi cate with substrate free carriers. Energy level position of the E(gamm a)', center, latent build-up of interface traps and negative oxide-tra pped charge are also discussed.
