Abstract

The charge to breakdown (QBD) was studied as functions of both temperature and current injection level under stress for tunnel anneal (40 angstroms) and conventional (103 angstroms) silicon dioxide (SiO2) in the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) system. The charge to breakdown is almost independent of current injection level at higher temperatures for 103 angstroms SiO2 films although the QBD of 40 angstroms SiO2 films strongly depends both on current level and on temperature. Higher activation energies were obtained for 40 angstroms oxides at lower temperatures (25 °C-100 °C), while larger activation energy was obtained for 103 angstroms oxides at higher temperatures (150 °C-200 °C).
