Gj. Sarrabayrouse et al., INFLUENCE OF IONIZING-RADIATION ON THE CONDUCTION PROPERTIES OF ULTRA-THIN SILICA LAYERS, Microelectronics, 25(7), 1994, pp. 583-588
The influence of X-ray irradiation on the conduction properties and br
eakdown of silica layers less than 10 nm thick has been investigated.
It has been found that these properties are net drastically affected,
and that the X-ray irradiation induces a decrease of the defectiveness
, as for much thicker layers.
