Abstract
A spin-on-glass planarization process in multilevel metallization can cause instabilities of metal-2-gate field oxid transistors. The threshold voltage shift of a p-channel transistor is reduced for negative gate bias and it can be accelerated by gate bias and temperature. The threshold voltage shift is caused by a thermally activated and field enhanced diffusion process. The planarization process leaves SOG inclusions, but the instabilities are also observed in strcutres where no inclusions are present.
