摘要: A new experimental technique, based on gate-to-drain capacitance C/sub gd//sup s/ and charge pumping (CP) current, is proposed for the lateral profiting of oxide interface state charges in LDD region n-MOSFETs. The device injected with hot holes, which are subsequently removed by a low-level channel hot-electron stress. degree neutralization monitored until complete annihilation trapped holes realized. This allows effects CP characteristics to be clearly distinguished, spatial profiles two separately determined.
