Abstract

Recent studies show that, for a given technology, as the effective channel length is scaled down towards 0.1 μm, the worst case hot carrier stress condition for nMOSFETs switches from Ib,peak (peak substrate current bias condition) to Vg = Vd. In this paper, we demonstrate that the worst case stress condition is determined by the ratio of qq to qq. Post-metallization anneal in deuterium similarly improves hot carrier lifetime under bias at Ib,peak and Vg = Vd.
