  • Abstract
    Hot-carrier degradation in pMOSFETs is observed from an increase in gate overlap capacitance due to trapped electrons in the gate oxide inverting a portion of the channel near the stressed junction. The logarithmic time growth of the overlap capacitance, and hence of the trapped charge, is reported.
