Investigation on hot carrier effects in n-type short-channel junctionless nanowire transistors

Hot carrier induced degradation of the n-type junctionless nanowire transistor (JNT) and the inversion-mode NWFET (IMNT) has been experimentally compared. The JNT shows better hot carrier (HC) immunity than the IMNT. The lateral peak electrical field intensity is lower in the JNT than the IMNT, which is observed by TCAD simulation work.
