TDDB
|
Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown; common technique to evaluate reliability of gate oxides in MOS devices; either time needed to break an oxide stressed with high voltage is measured (CVS - Constant Voltage Stress), or time of current injection into the oxide after which oxide fails (CCS -Constant Current Stress).
|
constant - current stress, CCS
|
technique used to study time dependent breakdown of gate oxide; constant current featuring predetermined density is injected into the oxide until it breaks down (gate voltage drops to zero).
|
constant voltage stress, CVS
|
technique used to study time dependent breakdown of gate oxide; constant voltage is applied to the gate until oxide breaks down (rapid, irreversible increase of the gate current).
