Method of metal-insulator-semiconductor structure interface analysis
An injection technique for testing and studying the charge degradation in MIS structures has been proposed. This technique allows: (1) measurement of the change in the charge state of the MIS structures and the production of charge injection into the dielectric using the same technique; (2) evaluation of the effective charge of the dielectric, the interface state density, the flat band voltage, the surface potential value for a given bias, the potential barrier height on the injection interface and the dielectric capacitance; (3) determination of the variations of the voltage, depending on the injected charge, the concentration of the charge traps and their capture cross-sections, of the value of the charge injected into the dielectric until sample breakdown occurs and location of the charge centroid in the dielectric.
