Abstract
Charge-trapping/detrapping are common occurrences that affect MOSFET performance and reliability. To understand a broad range of MOSFET phenomena, we need to think through the dynamic of charge-trapping/detrapping. The standard approach to treat oxide trapped charge is to think of them as a thin sheet of uniform charge at the centroid location [1]. The effect of this sheet charge approximation is a uniform band-bending within the oxide as well as in the semiconductor near the interface. This picture completely dominated all discussions of charge- trapping in the literature. Physically, the trapped charge's strong electric field greatly changes the electrostatic in its immediate surrounding. With this local field picture the charge emission (detrapping) becomes a very different process. In this paper, we explore what this mean and how to reconcile experimental observations using RTN as an example.Proceedings Title
