Abstract :
Reduction of the interface trap density over the p-channel of MOS transistors during channel hot hole stress is observed from DCIV measurements. A proposed model consists of hydrogenation of the residual interfacial bonds by hydrogen and the hydrogen is released from the hydrogenated boron in the p+drain region by the channel hot holes
