To be able to discuss the effect of on the relaxation we again refer to Fig. 7.5. When comparing the devices stressed for with and , has approximately the same value, but the relative relaxation with respect to its very different changes as depicted in Fig. 7.4 (bottom left). With a raise in the oxide electric field the recovery sets in late, but proceeds faster. This effect is now explored by specifying the slopes of the first () and second () logarithm, i.e. the short-term and long-term relaxation behavior.
