Abstract

The atomic scale defect physics responsible for the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) phenomenon are not well understood. In this study, we use a highly sensitive form of electron spin resonance (ESR) called spin dependent recombination (SDR) to investigate the chemical and physical nature of the defects responsible for NBTI. We show that P b0 centers, Si/SiO 2 interface silicon dangling bond defects, play a major role in the interface state generation process in NBTI.
