Abstract

Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) effect in the device of CMOS process has been studied, and the mechanism of HCI effect has been analyzed. In the Accelerated stress conditions, the accelerated life test of HCI effect has been conducted, and the reliability of 0.35μm~0.13μm CMOS process has been evaluated by the calculation of lifetime. The results show that the lifetime of HCI effect is not the same in different process node. The lifetimes of HCI effect in three different aspect ratio devices fabricated in 0.13μm CMOS process indicate that there is no relation between the aspect ratio of device and the lifetime of HCI effect.
