Title:
Surface barrier tailoring of semiconductor devices utilizing scanning electron microscope produced ionizing radiation
Abstract:
A method of spatially tailoring the surface barrier of MOS devices by means of a scanning electron microscope using ionizing radiation at the silicon dioxide-silicon interface to control the surface charge distribution. The MOS is subsequently annealed at about 300.degree. C. for several hours to stabilize the surface potential.
