Abstract
Reverse body bias (RBB) stress impact on high-voltage (HV) n-Type extended-drain MOSFET (EDMOS) has been investigated in this paper. Two-step degradation behavior of sub-threshold voltage (Vth) has been observed. At RBB stress lower than -1.25V, there is minor impact of RBB stress on hot carrier induced Vth shift. However, when the stress reaches around -2.5V, the Vth degradation increases significantly and has strong correlation with the RBB stress. Technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation shows that the Body/Source junction is reverse biased under large RBB stress therefore band to band tunneling current is generated at the interface near source side. High electric field enhances hot-electron trapping towards gate oxide in the channel region, resulting in large Vth shift after stressing. An equivalent reliability model has been developed based on this phenomenon, and the improved model fits well with the silicon data.
