New observations on the correlation between hole-trapping transformation and SILC generation under NBTI stressing

New observations on the correlation between the recoverable-to-permanent transformation of hole trapping and the generation of stress-induced leakage current (SILC) under negative-bias temperature stressing are presented. Both effects are shown to exhibit very similar temperature dependence, activat...
