Enhancement of BTI degradation in pMOSFETs under high-frequency bipolar gate bias Zhu, Shiyang Nakajima, Anri Ohashi, Takuo Miyake, Hideharu Dynamic stress Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) pMOSFETs Recombination Ultrathin gate oxide 540 Negative bias temperature (NBT) instability of p-MOSFETs with ultrathin SiON gate dielectric has been investigated under various gate bias configurations. The NBT-induced interface trap density (ΔNit) under unipolar bias is essentially lower than that under static bias, and is almost independent of the stress frequency up to 10 MHz. On the contrary, ΔNit under bipolar pulsed bias of frequency larger than about 10 kHz is significantly enhanced and exhibits a strong frequency dependence, which has faster generation rate and smaller activation energy as compared to other stress configurations. The degradation enhancement is attributed to the energy to be contributed by the recombination of trapped electrons and free holes upon the silicon surface potential reversal from accumulation to inversion. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 2005-06 VoR 0741-3106 AA00231428 387 IEEE Electron Device Letters 6 26 389 387 IEEE Electron Device Letters https://hiroshima.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2006996 eng 10.1109/LED.2005.848075 http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/LED.2005.848075 open access Copyright (c) 2005 IEEE.
