In this study, charge pumping method was used to investigate the Si-SiO$_2$interface characteristics of the nonvolatile SNOSFET memory devices, fabricated using the CMOS 1 Mbit processes (1.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ design rule), with thin oxide layer of 30${\AA}$ thick and nitride layer of 525${\AA}$ thick on the n-type silicon substrate (p-channel). Charge pumping current characteristics with the pulse base level were measured for various frequencies, falling times and rising times. By means of the charge dynamics in a non-steady state, the average Si-SiO$_2$interface state density and capture cross section were determined to be 3.565${\times}$10$\^$11/cm$\^$-2/eV$\^$-1/ and 4.834${\times}$10$\^$-16/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. However Si-SiO$_2$ interface state densities were disributed 2.8${\times}$10$\^$-11/～5.6${\times}$10$\^$11/cm$\^$-2/～6${\times}$10$\^$11/cm$\^$-2/eV$\^$-1/ in the lover half of energy gap.

High oxidation temperature of SiC shows a tendency of carbide formation at the interface which results in poor MOSFET transfer characteristics. Thus we developed oxidation processes in order to get low interface charge densities. N-type 6H-SiC MOS capacitors were fabricated by different oxidation processes: dry, wet, and dry­reoxidation. Gate oxidation and Ar anneal temperature was $1150^{\circ}C.$ Ar annealing was performed after gate oxidation for 30 minutes. Dry-reoxidation condition was $950^{\circ}C,$ H2O ambient for 2 hours. Gate oxide thickness of dry, wet and dry-reoxidation samples were 38.0 nm, 38.7 nm, 38.5 nm, respectively. Mo was adopted for gate electrode. To investigate quality of these gate oxide films, high frequency C- V measurement, gate oxide leakage current, and interface trapped charge densities (Dit) were measured. The interface trapped charge densities (Dit) measured by conductance method was about $4\times10^{10}[cm^{-1}eV^{-1}]$ for dry and wet oxidation, the lowest ever reported, and $1\times10^{11}[cm^{-1}eV^{-1}]$ for dry-reoxidation

This paper discusses the 3-level charge pumping (CP) method in planar-type Silicon-Oxide-High-k-Oxide-Silicon (SOHOS) and Silicon-Oxide-Nitride-Oxide-Silicon (SONOS) devices to find out the reason of the degradation of data retention properties. In the CP technique, pulses are applied to the gate of the MOSFET which alternately fill the traps with electrons and holes, thereby causing a recombination current Icp to flow in the substrate. The 3-level charge pumping method may be used to determine not only interface trap densities but also capture cross sections as a function of trap energy. By applying this method, SOHOS device found to have a higher interface trap density than SONOS device. Therefore, degradation of data retention characteristics is attributed to the many interface trap sites.

Interfacial effect in polymetric composites have been studied extensively. This report deals mainly with the effects of interfacial space charge and interface structure. A model for the dynamic process of interfacial space charge accumulation is proposed. The new model might interpret some interface phenomena which is difficult to be explained in terms of traditional Maxwell-Wagner theory. An interface structure is also presented, by which the importance of surface treatment of glass Fiber for improving the properties of FRP could be well understood.

It was investigated that space charge characteristics and Breakdown characteristics of XLPE/EPDM laminates as a function of interfacial condition. When the chemical A was pasted in laminate interface, there was little space charge in XLPE/EPDM interface and it was shown that breakdown strength of XLPE/EPDM laminate was influenced by laminate condition.

In this paper, the behaviour of charge carriers near the metal/polymer interface and its effects on conduction and breakdown phenomena are discussed. The metal/polymer interface strongly affects carrier injection, space charge formation and breakdown phenomena. Based on their experimental results, the physical backgrounds of the interfacial phenomena are explained.

We investigate the effect of interface states on the endurance of a charge trap flash (CTF) NOR array using charge pumping methods. The endurance test was completed from one cell selected randomly from 128 bit cells, where the memory window value after 10² program/erase (P/E) cycles decreased slightly from 2.2 V to 1.7 V. However, the memory window closure abruptly accelerated after 10³ P/E cycles or more (i.e. 0.97 V or 0.7 V) due to a degraded programming speed. On the other hand, the interface trap density (Nit) gradually increased from 3.13×10¹¹ cm⁻² for the initial state to 4×10¹² cm⁻² for 10² P/E cycles. Over 10³ P/E cycles, the Nit increased dramatically from 5.51×10¹² cm⁻² for 10³ P/E cycles to 5.79×10¹² cm⁻² for 10⁴ P/E cycles due to tunnel oxide damages. These results show good correlation between the interface traps and endurance degradation of CTF devices in actual flash cell arrays.

유기반도체와 게이트 절연체 간 계면전하이동을 이해하는 것은 고성능 유기메모리, 고안정성 유기전계효과 트랜지스터 (이하 유기트랜지스터) 개발에 기여할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 계면 간 전하이동의 특이거동, 즉 홀전하가 유기반도체에서 고분자절연체로 이동되어 편재화되는 것이 편재화 준위간의 커플링에 의해 비선형적으로 가속화될 수 있음을 최초로 밝혀내었다. 이의 규명을 위해 rubrene 단결정과 Mylar 절연체를 기반으로 한 유기트랜지스터를 vacuum lamination 공정으로 제작하여 반도체-절연체 계면의 반복적인 전사와 박리에도 안정적인 소자를 개발하였다. Rubrene 단결정과 Mylar film의 표면을 각각 광유도 산소 확산법과 UV-오존 처리를 통해 결함을 생성시켰다. 그 결과, 계면 간 전하이동과 이에 의한 바이어스 스트레스 효과가 rubrene과 Mylar가 가진 편재화 준위 간 커플링에 의해 비선형적으로 급격하게 가속화되었음을 관측하였다. 특히, rubrene 단결정에 있는 적은 밀도의 편재화 준위가 계면 간 전하이동을 촉진하는데 가교역할을 함을 밝혀내었다

공액분자반도체와 고분자절연체 계면에서 전하트래핑을 이해하는 것은 장시간 구동가능한 안정성 높은 유기전계효과 트랜지스터(이하 유기트랜지스터) 개발을 위해 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 분자량의 고분자절연체를 이용한 유기트랜지스터의 전하이동 특성을 평가하였다. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) 표면 위에 적층된 펜타센 공액반도체의 모폴로지와 결정성은 PMMA 분자량에 무관함이 나타났다. 그 결과 트랜지스터 소자의 초기 트랜스퍼 곡선과 전하이동도는 분자량에 상관없었다. 하지만, 적정한 상대습도 환경에서 소자에 바이어스가 인가되었을 경우, 바이어스 스트레스 효과로 불리는 드레인전류 감소와 트랜스퍼 곡선 이동은 PMMA 분자량이 감소할수록 증대됨이 관찰되었다(분자량 효과). 분자량 효과에 의한 전하트래핑은 회복이 매우 어려운 비가역적인 과정임을 밝혀 내었다. 이러한 분자량 효과는 PMMA 존재하는 고분자사슬 말단의 밀도 변화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 즉, PMMA 고분자사슬 말단이 가지는 자유부피가 전하트랩으로 작용하여 분자량에 민감한 바이어스 스트레스 효과를 일으킨 것으로 판단된다.

The Si-SiO$_2$interface trap and nitride bulk trap distribution of SONOSFET(polysilicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-semiconductor)NVSM(nonvolatile semiconductor memory) cell were investigated by single charge pumping method. The used device was fabricated by 0.35 7m standard logic fabrication including the ONO cell process. This ONO dielectric thickness is tunnel oxide 24 $\AA$, nitride 74 $\AA$, blocking oxide 25 $\AA$, respectively. Keeping the pulse base level in accumulation and pulsing the surface into inversion with increasing amplitudes, the charge pumping current flow from the single junction. Using the obtained I$_{cp}$-V$_{h}$ curve, the local V$_{t}$ distribution, doping concentration, lateral interface trap distribution and lateral memory trap distribution were extracted. The maximum N$_{it}$($\chi$) of 1.62$\times$10$^{19}$ /cm$^2$were determined.mined.d.
