In this paper, models of hot carrier degradation (HCD) in nMOSFET and nFinFET, combined with the physical mechanism and reaction-diffusion framework and considering saturation effect, are proposed. The HCD data of different technology nodes of nMOSFET and nFinFET are used to verify the accuracy of the models. The results show that the prediction errors of device parameter degradation under different stress voltages are less than 10% for several types of short channel devices, which is better than the existing reported research results. Furthermore, the models have simple analytical expressions that allow them to not only be applied to device HCD prediction, but also be extended to circuit level HCD prediction tool more easily.
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.
