dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, the role of High-Energy Tail (HET) electrons in channel hot-electron induced degradation of future NMOS transistor is studied. These electrons are mainly responsible for the shift in the worst-case hot-carrier degradation in the bulk-Si transistor. Further analysis revealed that they played a dominant role in the interface state generation and lifetime extrapolation. For transistors built on poor thermal conductivity substrates such as strained-Si/SiGe, the role of HET electrons in hot-electron induced degradation cannot be ignored. It was found that severe interface damage is created in the channel of the strained-Si/SiGe transistor at very short stress time. This phenomenon is explained by a proposed mechanism relating the increase of HET through self-heating effect. | |
