Abstract

The scaling of device dimension and supply voltage with high performance and reliability has been the main subject in the evolution of VLSI technology, The MOSFET structures become susceptible to high field related reliability problems such as hot-electron induced device degradation and dielectric breakdown. HLDBD(HLD Buffered Deposition) is used to decrease junction electric field in this paper. Also we compared the hot carrier characteristics of HLDBD and conventional.
