  • Abstract
    NBTI mechanism is discussed for a wide range of stress conditions. Conditions for interface and bulk-trap generation are shown. The bias, time and temperature dependence of interface-trap buildup and recovery are discussed using the framework of the R-D model. The AC frequency dependence and impact of gate oxide nitridation are also discussed.
