  • Abstract
    The channel width dependence of hot carrier reliability on NMOSFETs from 0.4-μm to 0.13-μm technology has been studied at both Ib,peak and Vg = Vd conditions. Enhanced degradation on narrow width devices happens on most technologies. The Ib/Id value and vertical electric field are proposed to be the reasons for enhanced degradation on narrow width NMOSFETs.
