In this paper, we describe the hot carrier (HC) effect of the thin-film silicon-on-insulator (SOI) power n-MOSFET under DC and AC stress. We clarify that the HC effect is enhanced by AC stress because of both drain avalanche hot carriers (DAHC) and channel hot carriers (CHC). In addition, the parasitic bipolar effect which is enhanced by minority carrier accumulation under AC stress, causes device degradation at low frequencies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
