Abstract :
A pseudo-2D analysis of the velocity saturation region (VSR) integrated in an analytical drift-diffusion surface-potential-based model is proposed. This approach allows the determination of the spatial repartition along the saturated channel of the surface potential and the electrical field for the modeling of the channel hot electron injection (CHEI). This MOS model is the core of a flash model, allowing the DC and transient simulations of a flash memory. This pseudo-2D analysis is successfully validated on a reference TMOS in 0.35μm CMOS technology. Its application to flash memory is validated on a 0.18 μm flash devices by comparing measurement and simulation of transient threshold voltage.
