From the experimental results and calculation, it is clarified that the hole generation in the gate electrode is a most promising mechanism in thin gate oxides. Moreover, it has been demonstrated for the first time that the hole-fluence-to-breakdown is not a constant value for different oxide fields but has a strong oxide field dependence at low temperatures. Based on the experimental results, we propose a model in which the oxide breakdown is a structural change initiated by hole trapping.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":346650,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"313 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114958308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the base width in the range of 500-2000 /spl Aring/ there are both ballistic and quasiballistic (hot electron diffusion) transport mechanisms. For the base width greater than 2000 /spl Aring/ we observe transport of thermalized electrons with long transit times. These results correlate well with the experimentally measured base delay times.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":346650,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128392078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
