Threshold voltage drift is one of the most important characteristics of device degradation. Based on the research of threshold drifts of the front and the back gate of SOI SONOS EEPROM, device degradation is studied in irradiation environment. Physical mechanism of threshold drifts is analyzed through physical band and mobile carrier analysis. And measures to improve device performance are proposed.
