Abstract
The Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) which is used for quantitative measurements of locally trapped charge in dielectric stacked gate structures is demonstrated. The trapped charge distribution and concentration is calculated using the 2D Poisson equation. It is shown that a peak trapped charge density of around 1X1012cm-2 with a spreading of ∼250 nm is obtained using 15 V pulses a few milliseconds in duration.
