The paper presents a survey of recent advances in deep submicron MOSFET’s hot carrier reliability.The main phenomena and physical mechanisms of the hot carrier induced MOSFET’s degradation are introduced
with emphasis both on the effect of hot electrons and on that of hot holes
which may lay the foundation for the research of deep submicron hot carrier reliability in CMOS ciruits.The modeling of deep submicron MOSFET’s hot carrier reliability
especially the hot carrier induced degradation in deep submicron MOSFET’s is also discussed.
