Abstract:The mechanism of hot-carrier-induced drain breakdown voltage walkout in an n-type lateral diffused MOS transistor is investigated. On the basis of the data of charge pumping measurement, hotcarrier-induced interface states created at the accumulation region is proposed to be responsible for the breakdown walkout. Further technology computer-aided-design simulations also support the before-mentioned mechanism.
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.
