Title
Trap generation and breakdown processes in very thin gate oxides
Abstract
Neutral electron traps are generated in gate oxide during electrical stress, leading to degradation in the form of stress-induced leakage current (SILC) and eventually resulting in breakdown. SILC is the result of inelastic, trap-assisted tunneling of electrons that originate in the conduction band of the cathode. Deuterium annealing experiments call into question the interfacial hydrogen release model of the trap generation mechanism. A framework for modeling time-to-breakdown is presented.
