  • Abstract
    A measurement technique using a single device to differentiate the effects of junction curvature, surface fields, and isolation implants in MOS source/drain breakdown is described. This use of a single device may complement existing measurement techniques, or be useful for design of test structures in the streets (scribe channels), where the number of devices is pad limited
