Abstract

We utilize a combination of MOSFET gate-controlled diode DC-IV measurements and a very sensitive electron spin resonance technique called spin-dependent recombination to observe and identify defect centers generated by NBTI in fully processed SiO2 -based pMOSFETs. In SiO2 devices, the defects include two Si/SiO2 interface silicon dangling bond centers (Pb0 and Pb1) and may also include an oxide silicon dangling bond center (E′). Our observations suggest that both P b0 and Pb1 defects play major roles while the E′ defect plays a somewhat different role in the SiO2 devices.
