摘要
The impact of gate dielectric nitridation methodology on time, temperature and field dependence of NBTI in SiON pMOSFETs is studied using Ultra-Fast On-The-Fly I-DLIN technique with 1 mu s resolution. It is shown that PNO devices with proper PNA show lower degradation magnitude, higher field dependence and therefore higher safe operating voltage compared to RTNO and PNO devices with improper PNA despite atomic N% is higher in PNO devices with proper PNA.
