Abstract

The correlation among the impact ionization, the surface traps, and the drain current degradation (kink) has been studied. The two-dimensional device simulation reveals that the increase in the surface traps at the recess region between gate and drain causes an enhancement of the weak impact ionization at low biases. This is one of the possible reasons for the kink phenomenon associated with hot-electron-induced degradation.
