All capacitors were analyzed in their as-fabricated or prebreakdown condition. The collected signals and image contrast are found to be highly dependent on the gate-to-substrate bias applied during MOS/EBIC examination, and this bias-dependence is shown to be correlated with the nature and physical location of the defect. Specific MOS defects were selected for this study according to their position in the substrate, in the oxide, or at the Si/SiO 2 interface. Substrate defects examined were misfit dislocations in epitaxial Si(Ge) on Si. Interfacial inhomogeneities included thermally oxidized, reactive ion etched (RIE) Si surfaces, and SiO 2 precipitates or D-defects which extend to meet the Si surface. Oxide layer inhomogeneities were also detectable which exhibited a strong contrast dependence on the oxide electric field strength.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY}, author={Kirk, HR and Radzimski, Z and Romanowski, A and Rozgonyi, GA}, year={1999}, month={Apr}, pages={1529–1535} }
