Abstract

The hot-carrier reliability in thick gate oxide LDMOS transistors is presented for the first time and two distinct behaviors are found. First, higher Vgs stressing results in a greater degradation because of the Kirk effect. Second, AC lifetime is much longer than DC lifetime because of the recovery in degradation.
