  • Abstract
    The degradation of 0.13μm NMOS and PMOS transistors caused by microtrenching (μT) under hot-carrier and edge FN stress is studied. DAHC stress was found to be a sensitive technique for characterizing the NMOS transistors while edge FN stress was more suitable for the PMOS transistors. Interface state generation was also identified as the dominant degradation mechanism.
