A. Balasinski et Tp. Ma, IMPACT OF RADIATION-INDUCED NONUNIFORM DAMAGE NEAR MOSFET JUNCTIONS, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 40(6), 1993, pp. 1286-1292
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.
