Ramping amplitude multi-frequency charge pumping technique is proposed to analyze the nitride traps in silicon–oxide–nitride–oxide–silicon (SONOS) structure. Based on the method, the trap density and the capture cross section at each location in oxide–nitride–oxide (ONO) gate stack can be extracted separately. The trap parameters extracted from the suggested model show that the traps located at tunnel-oxide/nitride interface whose capture cross section is lowest. The cause of large trap density at tunnel-oxide/nitride interface may be due to Si–Si bonding formation as reported in previous works.
