Abstract :
For BC-SOI nMOSFET, higher valence-band electron tunneling leading to maximum hot-carrier-induced IDsat degradation on VG=VD. But for FB-SOI nMOSFET, initial IDsat degradation is enhanced by PBT when VG∼VT. The maximum IDsat degradation occurs at VG=VD due to electron tunneling. FB-SOI devices were inversely temperature-dependent compared to BC-SOI devices. For pMOSFET, the impact ionization was not obvious due to lower channel hole mobility, thus the maximum IDsat degradation occurred for VG=VD for both SOI pMOSFETs.
