Physical Mechanisms Contributing to Device "Rebound"

The physical mechanisms that produce rebound have been identified. The positive increase in threshold voltage during a bias anneal is due to annealing of oxide trapped charge. Rebound can be predicted by measuring the contribution to the threshold voltage from radiation-induced interface states immediately after irradiation.
