Abstract
The influence of the pre-turn-on source bipolar injection on graded NMOST breakdown characteristics is investigated. Double-implanted As-P (n+n-) source-drain NMOS structures (DD NMOSTs) with different effective channel lengths, ranging from 1.15 to 9.15 μm, are measured. Using a simple, but accurate, semi-empirical model for the transistor operating in the breakdown region, it is shown that the DD NMOST snapback voltage is substantially decreased due to the enhanced pre-turn-on source electron emission current
