  • Abstract
    The I3T80 technology being developed at AMI Semiconductor, Inc. uses lateral extended-drain MOS transistors (DMOS) [1] in a 0.35¿m base technology. The base technology was developed using 3.3V signals on the gate, and the metal field transistor test results did not show a significant threshold voltage (vt) shift. This paper discusses the impact on the parasitic NMOS metal field transistor threshold voltage when a high voltage is applied to the gate over an extended time at an elevated temperature. This Vt shift is shown to vary widely with various pre-metal dielectric stacks.
