Abstract
Our recent research of the effects of pulsed bias NBT stressing in p-channel power VDMOSFETs is reviewed in this paper. The reduced degradation normally observed under the pulsed stress bias conditions is discussed in terms of the dynamic recovery effects, which are further assessed by varying the duty cycle ratio and frequency of the pulsed stress voltage. The results are analyzed in terms of the effects on device lifetime as well. A tendency of stress induced degradation to decrease with lowering the duty cycle and/or increasing the frequency of the pulsed stress voltage, which leads to the increase in device lifetime, is explained in terms of enhanced dynamic recovery effects.
