  • Abstract
    The field and area dependence of the defect related TDDB breakdown mode of MOS-capacitors are investigated, in order to predict the failure rate and to determine screening conditions to guarantee a maximum failure rate during the useful life of the oxide. The application of the E and 1/E-model, together with the oxide thinning model for the defect-related breakdown are compared. A new bimodal distribution model is introduced that takes into account the interdependence of the two breakdown modes.
