摘要
Under conditions that were predicted as "safe" by well-established TCAD packages, radiation hardness can still be signiticantly degraded by a few lucky arsenic ions reaching the gate oxide during self-aligned CMOS source/drain ion implantation. The most likely explanation is that both oxide traps and interface traps are created when ions penetrate and damage the gate oxide after channeling or traveling along polysilicon grain boundaries during the implantation process.
