S. Duenas et al., EXPERIMENTAL-OBSERVATION OF CONDUCTANCE TRANSIENTS IN AL SINX-H/SI METAL-INSULATOR-SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES/, Applied physics letters, 71(6), 1997, pp. 826-828
Room temperature conductance transients in the SiNx:H/Si interface are
reported. Silicon nitride thin films were directly deposited on silic
on by the low temperature electron-cyclotron-resonance plasma method.
The shape of the conductance transients varies with the frequency at w
hich they are obtained. This behavior is explained in terms of a disor
der-induced gap-state continuum model for the interfacial defects. A p
erfect agreement between experiment and theory is obtained proving the
validity of the model. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
