The Series Resistance Component of Hot Carrier Degradation in Ultra-Short Channel Devices

Abstract

Our measurements reveal that, similar to much larger power device geometries, hot carrier degradation in ultra-short channel devices involves (1) presumably defect generation-based parametric shifts in threshold voltage/transconductance and (2) an enhancement in series resistance. We show that the series resistance component, which has been seemingly overlooked for ultra-short channel devices, cannot be ignored.
