摘要
The degradation of MOSFETs under high field stress has been investigated for a long time. The degradation is due to the newly generated traps. As the gate thickness scaled down rapidly, a conventional method for detecting oxide traps, such as C-V or subthreshold swing, is no longer effective. Some new phenomena also appear, such as Stress Induced Leakage Current (SILC) and soft-breakdown. The oxide traps'; behavior and their characteristics are the key problems in the study of degradation. By extracting the change of transition coefficients from the I-V curve and using the PDO (Proportional Differential Operator) method, various oxide traps can be distinguished and the trap behavior changes during the degradation process would be helpfully determined.
