Abstract
Correlation between gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current I GIDL and plasma charging damage is investigated for p-MOSFETs. IGIDL and maximum charge pumping current show the same trend as a function of antenna area ratio (AAR) and cell location. Enhancement of IGIDL is mainly attributed to the increase of Si/SiO2 interface traps generated in the plasma processes and is not related to the small amount of trapped charge in the oxide
