Abstract

A technique is described for measuring the density and energy distribution of surface states at the Si-SiO2 interface in MNOS capacitors. The effects of charge injection into the insulator are taken into account by making use of a fast voltage ramp to monitor the instantaneous values of the surface potential during a quasistatic capacitance-voltage sweep. The technique has been used to investigate the effect of charges trapped in the nitride on the interface-state density.
