Abstract
Maxima in the magnitude of hot-carrier induced instabilities in the saturation characteristics of short p-channel MOSFETs occur for bias conditions that cause the peak gate current to flow. However, parameters measured in the linear regime may also show an additional maxima for stress conditions that lead to maximum substrate current. Device reliability studies should take this distinction between linear and saturation degradation into consideration.
