Abstract

By including poly-Si/SiO/sub 2/ and Si/SiO/sub 2/ interfacial transition (IFT) layers, an excellent agreement in terms of both C-V and J-V characteristics is obtained between the experiment and theory for both polarities of gate voltage (V/sub G/) for the first time. The highly precise physical models for gate depletion and gate accumulation bring an oxide thickness extracted from the C-V fitting in a negative V/sub G/ close to that extracted in a positive V/sub G/. It is shown that the physical oxide thickness should be regarded as a distance between the middle points inside the IFT layers in both sides of the gate oxide. In addition, it is found that the tunnel mass is independent of the gate-oxide thickness from 14 to 28 /spl Aring/. It is also shown that the oxide-thickness dependence of the tunnel mass , is ascribable to the C-V-J-V fitting only in the case of a negative polarity of V/sub G/ while neglecting the poly-Si/SiO/sub 2/ IFT layer.
