Abstract :
Hot electron/hole trapping in the gate and buried oxides of SOI (SIMOX) MOSFETs is investigated by combining the sequential front/back channel hot-electron stressing technique and measurements of static transistor characteristics. In this technique pure hot-hole injection is achieved by keeping the channel accumulated while stressing the opposite channel under electron injection conditions. Three lots of PD devices (denoted 3A, 12A, and 15A) fabricated on SIMOX wafers with channel lengths down to 0.8 μm were investigated. The main difference between these lots were in the drain design, in an effort to develop hot-electron resistant circuits for space/satellite applications
