Abstract
Breakdown (BD) characteristics and electron transport across thin SiO2 films has been thoroughly investigated for P+Poly-Si gate/PFET devices stressed under inversion mode. We resolve the anomalies in TBD/QBD polarity dependence and shallower Weibull slopes commonly observed in PFET for TOX>2nm. For thin oxides (1.8nmOX<2.9nm), QBD data and Weibull slopes are found to be in excellent agreement with those of NFETs by considering valence-band electron tunneling. For ultra-thin oxides (T OX<1.8nm), using an improved new BD detection methodology, the derived QBD results show reasonable agreement with those of thick oxides
