Vs. Pershenkov et al., PROPOSED 2-LEVEL ACCEPTOR-DONOR (AD) CENTER AND THE NATURE OF SWITCHING TRAPS IN IRRADIATED MOS STRUCTURES, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 43(6), 1996, pp. 2579-2586
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.
