The Invisible Killer of Semiconductor Devices: A Deep Dive into Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) Mechanism

Introduction Recently, I have come across some new processes, and during meetings with foundries, the HCI mechanism is frequently mentioned. What is the HCI mechanism? In the wave of miniaturization of modern electronic devices, the size of transistors on chips has shrunk to the nanometer scale. While we enjoy faster and more integrated electronic products, … Read more
