Three fast measuring methods, namely, "on-the-fly," fast direct threshold-voltage (V T ) determination, and fast draincurrent measurement near V T , are compared. Problems of the different methods are thoroughly discussed, and an analysis of systematic and statistical errors has been done. An example comparing the V T data extracted from the three methods is given. The results help us to understand the root causes for the observed differences in drift curves.Index Terms-Measuring delay, MOSFET, negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), pMOS, recovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
