Abstract

An empirical relation between device channel hot carrier lifetime and process induced damage has been developed, by correlating the antenna ratio (AR) to the channel hot carrier lifetime (τ) of both N- and P-MOSFET's. A 10X increase in AR results in a 7X fall in its normalized lifetime for NMOS and a 10X fall for the PMOS. A process constant P and a device constant D have been introduced. Process-related factors such as reactor design and process conditions are accounted for by P, while D includes the device features, such as gate-drain overlap and dielectric technology.
