摘要: Abstract The dielectric breakdown induced by substrate hot-hole injection has been investigated using p-channel MOSFETs with the gate oxide of thickness ranging from 60 to 120 A and it revealed that is hole Si even at low fields. positive charge ( Q PBD ) calculated integrating current independent field, but decreases rapidly decreasing thickness. Also, shown charges in SiO 2 film are removed annealing 250°C, while trap centers not disappeared. This suggests occurs a weak spot, which can capture charges.
