Deskripsi
Acquisition of basic characteristic of defects has become possible through a wide class of measurement techniqueswhich probe the interface, the near interface, as well as the bulk of semiconductor. Results presented here are basedessentially on the acoustic version of Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (A-DLTS) measurements. This method is based onthe acoustoelectric response effect observed at the interface. The A-DLTS uses the acoustoelectric response signal (ARS)produced by MOS structure interface when a longitudal acoustic wave propagates through a structure. The ARS is extremelysensitive to external conditions of the structure and reflects any changes in the charge distribution connected with chargedtraps. The temperature dependence of ARS after bias voltage step application is investigated and the activation energies andsome other parameters of traps at the insulator – semiconductor interface are determined. The results obtained formArrhenius plots of A-DLTS spectra of selected MOS structures are compared with results obtained from modeling of ADLTS spectra using theoretical model.
