Surface photovoltage monitoring of the Si-buried oxide interface charges

Abstract
Shows that SPV can be employed for fast and reliable monitoring ofthe Si-BOX interfacial charges. Simulation ofthe 0.25 pm CMOS-SOI transistor indicated degradation ofthe subthreshold leakage when the charge density exceeded 2 * 10/sup 12/ cm-2. Further MOSFET miniaturization could lower the critical value of Q/sub Si-Box/ to the levels presently observed in SIMOX SOI wafers.
