Title
An analytical approach for physical modeling of hot-carrier induced degradation.
Abstract
We develop an analytical model for hot-carrier degradation based on a rigorous physics-based TCAD model. The model employs an analytical approximation of the carrier acceleration integral (calculated with our TCAD approach) by a fitting formula. The essential features of hot-carrier degradation such as the interplay between single-and multiple-electron components of Si–H bond dissociation, mobility degradation during interface state build-up, as well as saturation of degradation at long stress times are inherited. As a result, the change of the linear drain current can be represented by the analytical expression over a wide range of stress conditions. The analytical model can be used to study the impact of device geometric parameters on hot-carrier degradation.
