Abstract Scope |
Extended service duration and elevated operation voltage amplify the electric fields and the likelihood of impact ionization in laterally diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) devices. Therefore, Hot carrier injection (HCI) is a degradation mechanism frequently observed in LDMOS transistors. Conducting a thorough investigation to comprehend the hot carrier injection effect in LDMOS could prove advantageous for enhancing device efficiency. In this study, we adopted a physics-based methodology to analyze hot carrier injection in LDMOS and identified the factors that are prone to affecting hot carrier reliability. We assessed both design and operational parameters and demonstrated a 50% reduction in degradation. |
