Abstract
We utilize fast-IdVg measurements to examine NBTI recovery over a time scale of 2usecs to 1000 seconds. The extracted DVTH and %GM degradation data clearly demonstrates the presence of hole as well as electron trapping and detrapping. The hole and electron trapping/detrapping behavior is only observable for very fast measurement times (<10usecs) and has significant implications to the current understanding of the NBTI phenomenon and consequent lifetime predictions.Proceedings Title
