A Method to Determine the Density of Surface States and Interfacial Charge Density in N-Channel Sos Mosfet's
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
A method to determine the density of surface states NSS and interfacial charge density QSAP in n-channel silicon-on-sapphire MOS transistors from back channel leakage current measurements is presented. A rigorous theory to determine this current as a function of drain-to-source bias, VDS and as a function of body-to-source bias, VBS is also discussed. The evaluation of leakage current is more rigorous in this work because the surface potential is explicitly calculated from the charge neutrality equation of the device. The surface potential, being dependent on interfacial surface state density and the doping density, is more accurate when evaluated from the charge neutrality equation than from assuming a simple a priori value (ɸs={3/2}ɸF). Applying the present theory to experimentally reported leakage current values, the following were obtained:
