摘要
The present invention is directed to a number of improvements in methods for hot-carrier device degradation modeling and extraction. Several improvements are presented for the improvement of building device degradation models, including allowing the user to select a device parameter used to build the device degradation model independent of the device parameter selected. The user can also select the functional relation between stress time and degradation level. To further improve accuracy, multiple acceleration parameters can be used to account for different regions of the degradation process. Analytical functions may be used to represent aged device model parameters, either directly or by fitting measured device parameters versus device age values, allowing devices with different age values to share the same device model. The concept of binning is extended to include device degradation. In addition to a binning based on device width and length, age is added. In an exemplary embodiment, only devices with minimum channel length have degraded models constructed. The present invention also allows the degradation of one device parameter to be determined based on an age value derived from another parameter. In yet another aspect, a degraded device is modeled as a fresh device with a voltage source connected to a terminal.
