  • Abstract
    The effect of scaling down gate oxide thickness on radiation induced damage in MOS capacitors with sub-10 nm gate oxides is reported. The trend of reduction in radiation induced positive charge and interface state generation is observed to continue for these ultrathin gate oxides. Results show that neutral trap generation due to radiation exposure is negligible in sub-10 nm gate oxides.
