摘要: This article investigates the H2-anneal induced positive charge generation in gate oxide of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors fabricated by a submicron complementary process. A significant number (∼1012 cm−2) fixed and mobile charges are generated at 450 °C. Properties (reactivity, electrical thermal stability) these compared with observed buried silicon-on-insulator devices. The differences two investigated, terms their transportation time across oxide, uniformity sources hydrogen. Attention is paid to role played boron possible connection between species here defects responsible for bias temperature instability. Efforts made explain difference reactivity hydrogenous released irradiation or electrica...
