Abstract

This work describes the application of a novel direct parameter extraction strategy for the BSIM3v3 MOSFET model to the hot-carrier reliability simulation problem. The use of direct extraction procedures allows a very fast extraction of circuit reliability parameters, with a minimum of measurements, and produces physically relevant parameters. The evolution of the extracted parameters during a hot-carrier stress can then be investigated, and the fit of a power-law model to this evolution can be examined.
