  • Abstract
    No significant variations of the hot-carrier degradation of partially depleted SOI N-MOSFETs were found under the effect of an externally applied body-bias. This very interesting feature was attributed to the weak secondary impact ionization in thin film SOI. As a consequence, the reliability of such SOI devices is substantially improved as compared to bulk ones under the presence of body-bias.
