Abstract:In this paper, we report a device model that has successfully described the characteristics of an anomalous CMOS NFET and led to the identification of a non-visual defect. The model was based on detailed electrical characterization of a transistor exhibiting a threshold voltage (Vt) of about 120mv lower than normal and also exhibiting source to drain leakage. Using a simple graphical simulation, we predicted that the anomalous device was a transistor in parallel with a resistor. It was proposed that the resist… Show more
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.
