Abstract
A new measurement technique for process monitoring that consists of observing current or charge transients after each voltage step during cyclic voltage sweeps is presented. This technique provides a quick turn-around alternative to monitoring with full-flow CMOS devices since it uses simple ultrathin oxide MOS structures. Analysis of the resulting cyclic I-V and Q-V data provides important physical information about the status of the ultrathin oxide, the interface and the near surface Si region.
