摘要
A new model for gate oxide current in n-MOSFETS under bias conditions of low. V(G)/V(D) is presented. Experimental and theoretical evidence shows this current to he consistent with the Poole-Frenkel mechanism of election detrapping. We propose that this mechanism, in combination with hot-electron injection, is a source of hot-carrier damage in n-MOS devices.
