AbstractHot-carrier effects of N 2O-nitrided (N2ON) n-MOSFETs at low temperature are investigated under maximum substrate- and gate-current stresses, respectively. The results are compared to those of thermal-oxide (OX) n-MOSFETs. It is found that like the characteristics at room temperature, hot-carrier-induced degradations are greatly suppressed in N2ON devices relative to OX devices under the two stresses, suggesting excellent low-temperature hot-carrier reliability due to nitrogen incorporation at/ near the Si-SiO 2 interface. For an OX device at low temperature, maximum gate-current stress exerts a stronger influence on its transconductance, threshold voltage and subthreshold swing than maximum substrate-current stress, and a two-piece model is used to explain the phenomena. Moreover, less shallow-trap generation observed in the N2ON device than in the OX device at low temperature is also attributed to the role of N 2O nitridation. © 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
