摘要: The defects at the Si/SiO2 interface have been studied by the deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) technique in p-type MOS structures with and without gold diffusion. The experimental results show that the interaction of gold and Si/SiO2 interface defect,Hit(0.494), results in the formation of a new interface de-fect, Au-Hit(0.445). Just like the interface defect, Hit(0.494), the new interface defect possesses a few interesting properties, for example, when the gate voltage applied across the MOS structure reduces the energy interval between Fermi-level and Si valence band of the Si surface to values smaller than the hole ionization Gibbs free energy of the defect, a sharp DLTS peak is still observable; and the hole apparent activation energy increases with the decrease of the Si surface potential barrier height. These properties can be successfully explained with the transition energy band model of the Si/SiO2 interface.
