Popis: | This paper reviews recent experiments that have shown that the probable mechanism for low voltage trap generation and dielectric breakdown is anode hydrogen release. Vibrational excitation of silicon-hydrogen bonds is the process that provides the most plausible explanation for the existence of a power law model for TDDB. |
