Abstract
The time-dependent creation of interface traps Nit, in irradiated MOS devices has been studied in oxides which were annealed in either deuterium or hydrogen. It is found that the rate of Nit, buildup is significantly retarded in the deuterium-annealed oxides. It is noted that this result demonstrates conclusively that hydrogen must be involved in the Nit, creation process
