Abstract
A method is presented for determining the interface-state distribution in MOS structures by deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) with a bipolar rectangular weighting function which has the better signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) than the ordinary DLTS using a dual-channel boxcar averager. Experimental results are given for electron traps at the Si-SiO2 interface and compared with those obtained from the ordinary DLTS method. Experimental requirements for the present method to evaluate the interface-state distribution are also discussed.
