The O<sub>2</sub> treatment duration was varied, ranging from 0 s (without PDA) to 120 s, with 30 and 60 s as intermediate conditions, and the key findings are as follows: 1) the memory window (MW) first increases and then decreases as O<sub>2</sub> PDA duration increases. The maximum MW is achieved under 60 s O<sub>2</sub> PDA, which exhibits a 16% enhancement compared to the 0 s condition, attributed to the increased charge trapping at the SiO<sub>2</sub>/Hf<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>0.5</sub> O<sub>2</sub> interface; and 2) the O<sub>2</sub> PDA treatment improves endurance from <inline-formula> <tex-math>$3times 10^{{4}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> to <inline-formula> <tex-math>$2times 10^{{5}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> cycles, which is attributed to suppressing defect generation near the channel-side interface.

Traditional assessment methods based on direct current (DC) stress are inadequate for accurately capturing device degradation behaviors during actual alternating current (AC) operation. This article systematically reviews recent research progress in AC reliability from the perspective of trap dynamics, highlighting its crucial role in reliability-aware circuit design. Beginning with as-grown traps responsible for random telegraph noise (RTN) and bias temperature instability (BTI), the article delves into the dynamic characteristics of AC RTN and AC BTI. It elucidates that AC RTN exhibits complex frequency dependencies in its capture/emission time constants and effective occupancy probability, which directly impacts the timing integrity of digital circuits. Then, this review subsequently extends to the dynamic behavior of generated traps, covering AC hot carrier degradation (HCD) and AC time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB). Furthermore, we summarize and compare circuit-level simulation frameworks developed to evaluate these reliability mechanisms, along with their application in predicting performance degradation in key circuit modules such as ring oscillators (ROs). This review aims to provide a clear and comprehensive overview of AC reliability physics and emphasizes the urgency and importance of integrating dynamic, electro-thermal co-simulation methodologies into the design for reliability of future ICs.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"73 8","pages":"4588-4597"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148699564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This behavior arises from the absence of a bulk thermal path for active channels, which limits heat dissipation, combined with aggressive channel length scaling and the higher drive currents enabled by the GAA architecture. Elevated device temperatures not only increase reliability concerns but also complicate accurate evaluation of hot-carrier injection (HCI) degradation. In this work, we investigate the influence of SHE during DC hot-carrier stress (HCS) and assess the impact of SHE correction on HCI kinetics and the extraction of key modeling parameters. Our results demonstrate that proper SHE correction is critical for accurate determination of activation energy (E<sub>a</sub>) and voltage acceleration factor (VAF) in NS devices. Furthermore, we show that the time exponent exhibits minimal temperature dependence and is only slightly affected by SHE correction.

Here, we demonstrate an efficient thermal-management strategy using a carbon nanotube (CNT) cold cathode operated in a pulsed field emission regime. Spatiotemporal thermodynamic simulations show that low duty-cycle operation promotes rapid radial heat diffusion and enables thermal relaxation between consecutive pulses, thereby preventing cumulative temperature rise. Then, we demonstrate this thermally decoupled mechanism experimentally in a high-vacuum environment by directly measuring the anode temperature. At a constant time-averaged emission current of 1 mA, continuous stability tests confirm stable CNT-array operation across a range of pulsed conditions. Moreover, the measured power consumption exhibits a nonlinear dependence on duty cycle.
