	abstract = {Simulation results are presented for a MOSFET with position- and energy- (potential-) dependent interface trap distributions that may be typical for devices subjected to interface-trap-producing processes such as hot-electron degradation. The interface-trap distribution is modeled as a Gaussian peak at a given position along the channel, and the energy dependence is derived from <e1>C</e1>-<e1>V</e1> measurements from an MOS capacitor exposed to ionizing radiation. A novel fixed-point technique is used to solve the two-dimensional boundary-value problem. The technique is shown to be globally convergent for arbitrary distributions of interface traps. A comparison of the convergence properties of the Newton and fixed-point methods is presented, and it is shown that for some important cases the Newton technique fails to converge while the fixed-point technique converges with a geometric convergence rate},
