摘要
Negative Bias Temperature Instability of pMOSFETs is investigated under various stress gate voltages and temperatures. It is shown that degradation tends to saturate and the dependence of lifetime on electric field (E-ox) is expressed as a power-law of E-ox. We propose new empirical and kinetic models. The E-ox dependence of the lifetime described by the power-law is derived from our empirical model describing the saturation of degradation. Moreover, our kinetic model explains the saturation behavior. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
