Abstract

An analytical breakdown model based upon a physical understanding of thin gate oxide has been developed. With the help of this model, which self-adjusts automatically to account for all trapping conditions, the oxide lifetimes under normal operating conditions could be estimated by extrapolating the high field accelerated data.
