For the first time it is demonstrated that the series resistance degradation under NBTI is channel length independent although the shift in absolute parameter change increases with reducing channel length. Under NBTI the threshold voltage shifts towards more negative values. The damage mechanism is predominantly by donor type interface states, with a minor contribution of bulk traps. Under PBTI, damage in the centre of the channel, attributed to electron traps causes a shift in threshold voltage towards more positive values, whereas donor type interface states generated towards the edge of the channel contribute to a minor increase in series resistance. PBTI causes lesser damage in comparison to NBTI.","PeriodicalId":202761,"journal":{"name":"2004 24th International Conference on Microelectronics (IEEE Cat.

The films with lower Hf content show lower level of oxide and interface charges and higher dielectric constant whereas those with higher Hf content have better leakage current properties. It is established that in the films with lower Hf content the conduction is governed by a phonon-assisted process, i.e. it is defined rather by the intrinsic properties of the layer than by its defect structure.","PeriodicalId":202761,"journal":{"name":"2004 24th International Conference on Microelectronics (IEEE Cat.
