Summary: | Degradation behaviors of 20 V NLDMOS operated under off-state avalanche breakdown conditions are presented.A constant current pulse stressing test is applied to the device.Two different degradation mechanisms are identified by analysis of electrical data,technology computer-aided design(TCAD) simulations and charge pumping measurements.The first mechanism is attributed to positive oxide-trapped charges in the N-type drift region,and the second one is due to decreased electron mobility upon interface state formation in the drift region.Both of the mechanisms are enhanced with increasing avalanche breakdown current. |
