Abstract :
In this paper we present a model that can be used to calculate hot carrier degradation in LDMOS devices within a circuit reliability simulation environment. The model is suitable for both nLDMOS and pLDMOS devices. We show experimental evidence on the applicability of this model over a broad range of VGS and VDS biases as well as temperature.
