Universality of NBTI-Induced Interface Trap Generation and Its Impact on ID Degradation in Strained/ Unstrained PMOS Transistors
23 Dec 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Ahmad Ehteshamul Islam, Muhammad A. Alam
Despite extensive use of strained technology, it is still unclear whether NBTI-induced NIT generation in strained transistors is substantially different from that of unstrained ones. Here, we present a comprehensive theory for NIT generation in strained/unstrained transistors and show its...
