Abstract :
We present an extraction of the OTCP (Oxide-Trap based on Charge-Pumping) method from high frequencies (HF) to low frequencies (LF). Thus, using the LF-OTCP method, the interface-trap and border-trap (switching oxide trap) are simultaneously involved in charge pumping (CP) current (Icp) measurements. We have found that radiation-induced oxide-trap (ΔN01) is only dependent on (threshold voltage shift), AIcpm.h (augmentation of maximum CP current at high frequencies), and ΔIcpm.l (augmentation of maximum CP current at low frequencies). Where ΔIcpm.l and ΔIcpm.h can be easily obtained from vertical shift of charge pumping curve at low and high frequencies respectively, and ΔVth from lateral one.
