THE EFFECT OF SHALLOW TRENCH ISOLATION (STI) TOPOLOGY, SIDEWALL DOPING AND LAYOUT-RELATED STRESS ON RADIATION-INDUCED LEAKAGE CURRENT

Scaling of gate oxides in bulk complementary metaloxidesemiconductor (CMOS) devices to thinner dimensions has reduced the significance of threshold-voltage shifts due to total-ionizing dose (TID) radiation-induced charge buildup in the thin oxides. As a result, the dominant TID effect in most CMOS t...
