Abstract

A distribution of interface states (D it) in SOI MOSFETs has been characterized by a subbandgap optical differential body-factor (SODBoF) technique. We adopted a subbandgap (E ph < E g) optical source as a virtual gate on the body-contactless SOI MOSFETs under the subthreshold (V GS < V T) current-voltage characteristics. Employing a differentiation to the body factor, any possible error from the threshold voltage is also suppressed. We applied the SODBoF technique to n-and p-channel SOI MOSFETs on the same wafer and verified the result. Extracted traps over the bandgap ranges D it = 10 10-10 11 cm -2 ċ eV -1 with a typical U-shape.
