摘要
This paper investigates the applicability of the proposed models for electron trap generation in gate oxides. It is found that neither the electron-hole recombination nor the high oxide field itself is the main source for the generation. Although the hole injection alone can generate traps, the electron injection leads to additional generation, which is significant during the typical break-down test. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
