Abstract :
This paper reports the research of applying the worst stress condition of thick gate oxide LDMOSFET hot carrier reliability. Based on electrical characteristic and hot carrier degradation investigation, the worst stress condition selection and failure mechanism are discussed and then the reasonable stress condition is proposed in this paper.
