  • Abstract
    This letter presents arguments for the experimental verification of deuterium as the primary agent in forming "effective" traps in hydrogenated silicon nitride layers in metal-nitride oxide semiconductor (MNOS) transistors. Results presented show significant improvement in charge storage as a result of the substitution of deuterium for hydrogen.
