Abstract
Decreasing the thickness of the gate insulator in advanced CMOS devices seriously shrinks their reliability margin. Fortunately, dielectric breakdown becomes softer for thinner dielectrics and it has been shown in recent studies that the breakdown event has become so soft that in some cases circuit functionality is not significantly affected. This paper discusses the implications of scaling the thickness of gate dielectrics on long-term device reliability in ionizing radiation environments.Proceedings Title
