Abstract
Gate-all-around stacked nano-sheet (GAA-SNS) p-channel field effect transistors (FETs) having varying sheet widths are utilized for ultrafast measurements ( 10 ~\mu \text{s} delay) of negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) and hot carrier degradation (HCD). The BTI analysis tool (BAT) framework is used to analyze the pure NBTI data at multiple {V}_{G} and {T}. BAT is suitably modified to estimate the NBTI contribution in the presence of self-heating (SH) effect at multiple {V}_{G} and {V}_{D} under HCD stress. The pure HCD kinetics is estimated using both empirical and physical models; a vertical field and {T} enhanced dominant energy concept is used for the {V}_{G}, {V}_{D} , and {T} dependence. Projected degradation at end-of-life (EOL) and under multiple {V}_{G} / {V}_{D} conditions is estimated.
