Abstract
The degradation and breakdown of ultra-thin oxide layers are discussed. Physical insights are provided for various experimental observations such as stress-induced leakage current, soft breakdown and the polarity gap for QBD. The cumulative effect of a wider statistical spread and stronger temperature acceleration for ultra-thin oxides is shown to lead to insufficient reliability below ∼2.5 nm.
