Abstract

A spectroscopy method for implementing Si3Ni4 layers using NROM cell and gate-induced-drain-leakage measurements was discussed. Probing of electron and hole traps in the band gap with no fitting parameters was also discussed. The energy levels of occupied charge traps were extracted. Results showed that the peak energy distribution of the electron traps was located ∼2.2 ev below the Nitride conduction band. The gate-induced-drain-leakage (GIDL) measurements provide the highest sensitivity to holes and electrons.
