Hot Carrier Degradation in Si n-MOSFETs at Cryogenic Temperatures
This study experimentally investigated hot carrier degradation (HCD) in Si-MOSFETs at cryogenic temperatures. Stress was applied to the devices at 4 K and 300 K, followed by temperature-dependent characterization from 4 K to 300 K to evaluate the degradation mechanism. The results indicated that at 4 K, the effect of HCD on current-voltage characteristics is attributable to band-edge states, whereas at 300 K, it is primarily due to deep states. Despite the temperature at which HCD occurred, both states are induced simultaneously by hot carriers. Deuterium termination of dangling bonds mitigates HCD even at 4 K, where degradation is caused by band-edge states. These results suggest that the band-edge states and deep states should be considered in conjunction, rather than in isolation, to fully understand the degradation behavior.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society (J-EDS) is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal publishing papers ranging from fundamental to applied research that are scientifically rigorous and relevant to electron devices. The J-EDS publishes original and significant contributions relating to the theory, modelling, design, performance, and reliability of electron and ion integrated circuit devices and interconnects, involving insulators, metals, organic materials, micro-plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect structures, vacuum devices, and emerging materials with applications in bioelectronics, biomedical electronics, computation, communications, displays, microelectromechanics, imaging, micro-actuators, nanodevices, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, power IC''s, and micro-sensors. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are, also, published. And, occasionally special issues with a collection of papers on particular areas in more depth and breadth are, also, published. J-EDS publishes all papers that are judged to be technically valid and original.
