  • Abstract
    The relationship between hot electrons and holes and the degradation of p- and n-channel MOSFET´s is clarified by experimentally determining where along the channel the SiO2is most affected by each type of carrier. Transconductance degradation is found to be caused by hot-hole injection in pMOSFET´s, and by hot-electron injection in nMOSFET´s.
