摘要
We report for the first time on the stretched exponential time dependence of positive charge and spin generated by subband-gap ultraviolet illumination in gate-quality nitrogen-rich amorphous silicon nitride films. We have found that a stretched exponential function, which characterizes dispersive charge transport in silicon nitride, gives the best description of our experimental results. We also propose a mechanism which we believe is responsible for the creation of the positive charge and spin in the amorphous silicon nitride films.
