Abstract
In this paper, the phenomenon of channel hot carrier (CHC) induced degradation in transistors and its relation to ESD reliability is reviewed. The principles of CHC and the trade-off with ESD during technology development from channel/drain engineering, including consideration for mixed voltage designs, are discussed. Also, latent damage due to ESD-induced effects on CHC are considered. Finally, it is shown how the generation of hot carriers can help in the optimization of the performance of advanced ESD protection concepts.
