摘要
The thermal generation of mobile, positively charged species in the gate oxide of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors has been studied. Static hysteresis in the source-drain current versus gate voltage curves indicates the presence of similar to3.2x10(12) cm(-2) mobile charges in devices annealed in D-2 and H-2 containing atmospheres at 700 degreesC for 30 min. Pulsed switched gate voltage experiments give clear evidence of a (mass)(1/2) effect in the charge transport consistent with identification of the charges as deuterons and protons.
