  • Abstract
    It has been reported that the dynamic recovery of drain current (Id) takes place soon after the stress applied on the gate is removed during a MOSFET negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) experiment. This phenomenon makes it very difficult to estimate the NBTI degradation of Id (ΔId) correctly. The paper presents a new characterization method in which the effect of the dynamic recovery is quantitatively taken into account to estimate ΔId precisely.
