L. Selmi, SILICON LUMINESCENCE TECHNIQUES FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF HOT-CARRIER AND DEGRADATION PHENOMENA IN MOS DEVICES, Microelectronic engineering, 28(1-4), 1995, pp. 249-256
Measurements of hot-carrier induced Light emission represent a valuabl
e mean to investigate hot-carrier and degradation phenomena. This pape
r reviews research in this held with particular regard to problems sti
ll open to investigation, and it discusses results in the characteriza
tion of hot carrier and degradation phenomena in MOS transistors.
