Abstract
Laterally nonuniform distributions of radiation-induced oxide charge a nd interface traps near MOSFET junctions have been found in a variety of samples, and such nonuniformities could significantly affect the tr ansistor's transconductance, channel resistance, and effective channel length. The degree of nonuniformity depends strongly on the process t echnology, as revealed by three independent measurement techniques. De vice simulation results have confirmed the impact of such edge effects on transistor parameters.
