Lateral Capacitance–Voltage Method of NanoMOSFET for Detecting the Hot Carrier Injection

摘要

In this paper, the dependence of the capacitance of lateral drain–substrate and source–substrate junctions on the linear size of the oxide trapped charge in MOSFET is simulated. It is shown that, at some range of linear sizes of the trapped charge, the capacitance of lateral junctions linearly depends on the linear size of the trapped charge. The dependence of the difference between drain–substrate and source–substrate capacitances on the linear size of trapped charges is also simulated. The revealed dependence can be used in measurements to estimate the linear size of oxide trapped charges induced by hot carrier injection, which can occur during MOSFET operation at defined conditions.
