Abstract :
Hot carrier effects on RF small-signal parameters in high-k/metal gate nMOSFETs are characterized by DC and RF measurements. To explain the novel hot carrier-induced degradation, we suggest a modified surface channel resistance model that can be applied to both conventional SiO2 and high-k nMOSFETs.
