Abstract
Dielectric breakdown of gate oxide films in MOSFETs is studied by using a substrate hot electron (SHE) injection technique. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to investigate the correlation between the oxide breakdown and the electron energy. It is demonstrated that the holes generated in the anode electrode plays an important role in the oxide degradation induced by SHE injection.
