摘要
Migration of surface ions in lateral fields on insulator surfaces may modify the electrical characteristics of underlying semiconductor structures causing device instabilities. A high sensitivity electrostatic force microscope is used to image the movement and spatial distribution of surface ions on Si3N4. Mobile surface ions are distributed by the fringing fields of a p-n junction and an open-gate field-effect transistor. The surface charge distribution and topography are imaged simultaneously on a micrometer scale.
