  • Abstract
    Injection and trapping of hot holes was studied in n-channel depletion-mode MOSFETs and compared to that in enhancement devices. The rate of device degradation was found to decrease with increasing channel doping. A model is proposed explaining this behaviour from the current transport in the buried channel and from the effect of the channel doping level on the field near the drain.
