This paper reports on a bias voltage dependence of the trapped hole annealing that was observed by using a unique irradiation technique with a MOS capacitor which exhibits almost no annealing of the trapped holes at negative bias condition. The result showed the change of time scale for the annealing behavior with the Boltzmann's factor as a function of surface potential of the substrate. This result suggests that the oxide of the MOS capacitor has trap level positioned above the Si conduction band edge. Additional annealing experiment at several temperatures supported the results and the position of the trap level was determined. The trap level confirmed may be one of commonly observed levels, although it is a special case that the MOS capacitor has only the trap level.
