Abstract

A new technique is proposed to extract long-term constant voltage stress time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) acceleration parameters from highly accelerated constant or ramped current injection breakdown tests. It is demonstrated that an accurate correlation of highly accelerated breakdown tests to long-term constant voltage TDDB tests can be obtained.
