In-situ impedance characterization for assessing SiC MOSFETs reliability
… that on-state resistance correlates with gate-oxide degradation, while bond-wire lift-off leads to a measurable increase in package inductance. The circuit is thus capable of simultaneously tracking both degradation modes. Its performance is validated through extensive experimental setups …

Study of Si/SiO2 interface passivation and SiO2 reliability on deuterium implanted silicon
… has proven to improve the lifetime of the metal oxide semiconductor devices but this technique is not very effective for a multi-level metal-dielectric structure. This work investigates and optimizes incorporation of deuterium by ion implantation into the silicon substrate before the growth of …

Study Of Oxide Breakdown, Hot Carrier And Nbti Effects On Mos Device And Circuit Reliability
… (HC) effect becomes more significant. When the oxide is scaled down to less than 3 nm, gate oxide breakdown (BD) often takes place. As a result, oxide trapping and interface generation cause long term performance drift and related reliability problems in devices and circuits. The RF front-end …

Characterization of ultrathin gate dielectrics and multilayer charge injection barriers
… of the gate dielectric, SiO_2, of a MOSFET. Gate oxides in the ultrathin regime (<35 A) feature a large direct tunneling leakage current. The presence of this leakage current requires a reevaluation of standard characterization techniques as well as a reevaluation of the continued usefulness of …
