  • Abstract
    The constant need for higher speed continues to lead to shorter and shorter gate lengths. An analytical expression relating the reliability and gate length is developed. According to the model, the FET reliability degrades exponentially with decreasing gate length. Experimental observations support the model´s conclusions.
