This project was aimed at comparing and measuring the accuracy of different techniques for determining the interface trap density (Dit) within thin dielectric layers (2-3nm thick) found in state-of-the-art electronic devices. To achieve this, an automated software was developed which enables fast and easy analysis of experimental data. The software processes raw data to give Dit in numerical and graphical forms as the output.The key skills learned during this project were: 1)… Show more This project was aimed at comparing and measuring the accuracy of different techniques for determining the interface trap density (Dit) within thin dielectric layers (2-3nm thick) found in state-of-the-art electronic devices.
