Experimental and theoretical studies of negative bias temperature instability in ultra-thin gate dielectrics

It has been the intent of this work to investigate negative bias temperature instability of pMOSFET with ultra-thin gate dielectrics both theoretically and experimentally. Through experimental study, a comprehensive and quantitative study on the influence of nitrogen at the Si/SiOxNy interface on NB...
