摘要
A study of the influence of the oxide charge build-up during Fowler-Nordheim is presented, emphasizing the current-voltage characteristics. In some cases, a diminution of the slope of current-voltage characteristics was observed. It is shown that the slope variation is due to a change of the cathode field which is basically related on the location of the oxide charge. The proximity of this oxide charge (positive or negative) to substrate-Si/SiO2 or gate/SiO2 interfaces modifies the shape of the tunneling barrier. From a qualitative analysis of the voltage shifts of current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics, the origins of the oxide charge have been discussed and the degradation of the oxide is found to be consistent with both mechanisms of trap creation and/or impact ionization.
