  • Abstract
    Electron avalanche injection has been used to study charge trapping in thin (10-30 nm) ammonia-annealed silicon dioxide films as a function of process conditions. While electron traps (with a cross section of ~ 10-16 cm2) increase with nitridation temperature and time, the generation of interfacial positive charge (``turn-around effect´´) is greatly reduced or totally eliminated under severe nitridation conditions.
