Reliability and hot-electron effects in analog and mixed-mode circuits

Reliability of sub-micron analog circuits is directly related to impact ionization and the subsequent changes in threshold voltage and drain current of n-MOSFET devices. This thesis presents theory of the hot-electron effects on the device characteristics and circuit performance, explores several ap...
