  • Abstract
    On N-channel MOSFET devices, phosphosilicate glass maintains threshold stability by gettering ionic (sodium) contaminants, typically to 250°C. However, defects can affect the phosphosilicate glass and substantially reduce its gettering ability. The defect level then becomes temperature dependent, which if not taken into account, results in erroneous reliability projections.
