摘要
Electrical stress of n-type metal - tunnel oxide - silicon (MTOS) diodes by applying a positive voltage to the metal results in the appearance of unstable positive charge in the oxide. This charge is observed by an increase in the direct tunnel current as well as a negative shift of the capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristic. Effects similar to these have previously been observed for p-type MTOS diodes stressed with negative bias. This similarity makes injection of holes a less likely candidate for controlling the charging profess.
