Abstract
Large MOS capacitors were used in a study of the dielectric breakdown mechanism to establish the relationship among the results of various test methods. Reliance on models was avoided through the use of a test vehicle which duplicated the structures of a 64K dynamic memory device. A method is proposed to predict device reliability using process monitors at the time of wafer manufacture.
