  • Abstract
    An electrical test structure for monitoring surface charge deposited on wafers during process steps is described. The device is a variation of an EEPROM cell with enhanced charge collection due to a large-area control gate. Proof of concept has been demonstrated in ion-implantation and plasma-etching processes.
