What Does EOT Stand For?

EOT stands for Equivalent Oxide Thickness

Equivalent Oxide Thickness (EOT) refers to a measurement used in semiconductor fabrication to quantify the thickness of an insulating oxide layer, typically silicon dioxide, in relation to its electrical properties. EOT is crucial for evaluating the performance of gate dielectrics in transistors, as it influences capacitance, device scaling, and overall electrical performance. It provides a standardized way to compare the effects of different dielectric materials, allowing engineers to optimize device design and functionality in advanced semiconductor technologies.
