Abstract

We studied the MOSFET characteristics and the hot-carrier reliability with the sidewall spacer composition and the post gate oxidation thickness in 0.20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length transistor. The MOSFET with NO(Nitride+Oxide) sidewall spacer exhibits the large degradation of hot-carrier lifetime because there is no buffering oxide against nitride stress. When the post gate oxidation is skipped, the hot-carrier lifetime is improved, but GIDL (Gate Induced Drain Leakage) current is also increased.
