Abstract

How can a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor suffer from multiple dielectric breakdowns (BD) with severe structural damages (e.g., local melting and metal migration) remain functional? Our results show that the amorphization of Si in the vicinity of the BD forms an effective p-n diode which prevents terminal short from happening when reverse-biased.
