ABSTRACT:
An improved method for reducing the density of electronic trapping states and fixed insulator charge in the thin oxide layer of an MNOS structure. The method includes the steps of implanting hydrogen ions in field region of the oxide layer and annealing the MNOS structure at 400.degree. C. to cause the ions to diffuse laterally into the gate region of the oxide layer.
