On the Permanent Component profiling of the Negative Bias Temperature Instability in p-MOSFET Devices

Abstract; In this manuscript, we have investigated the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) induced border-trap (Nbt) depth in the interfacial oxide region of PMOS transistors using multi-frequency charge pumping (MFCP) method. We emphasize on the distribution of the permanent component in the oxide near the interface, giving a clear insight on its effect on NBTI […]

On the Turn-around Phenomenon in N-MOS Transistors under NBTI Conditions

Abstract; We have experimentally analyzed negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) stress/recovery cycle on n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (n-MOSFET’s). Data obtained by current–voltage (I–V) and charge pumping (CP) techniques have revealed a turn-around phenomenon in both threshold voltage shift (ΔVth) and maximum CP current shift (ΔICP-Max). This allows us to separate the evolution of interface […]

Analysis of NBTI Degradation in nMOS-Capacitors and nMOSFETs

Abstract; This paper presents a new attempt to more understand negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) stress in semiconductor devices. NBTI impact has been experimentally investigated on both p-substrate MOS (nMOS-capacitor) and nMOS transistors under accumulation condition, and new findings have been revealed. Indeed, nMOS-capacitor’s flat band shift (VFB) under NBTI stress has disclosed that time […]
