  • Abstract
    After several experiments of the impact of Soft- Breakdown on MOS device´s operation and parameters, we use the current partitioning equations to express the channel debiasing and compare its influence to the leakage current. A 3D TCAD model is set up and directly used in small circuit´s mixed mode simulations to evaluate the SBD impact on inverters and SRAM processes. Finally an analytical model of the degradation effects is proposed, to be integrated to compact models.
