With the continuous development of microelectronics technology, integrated circuit devices have become an indispensable part of modern electronic technology, and their reliability is directly related to the stability and service life of electronic equipment. Under the inevitable trend of device size reduction, the reliability requirements of MOS devices are also increasing. The reliability issues of deep submicron MOS devices mainly include negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) effect, hot carrier injection (HCI) effect, and gate oxide breakdown effect. With the increase of integration level and the continuous reduction of device size, these effects that were previously ignored have been revalued. Among them, the research on NBTI and HCI effects is an important research direction to improve device reliability, and in-depth research on them is of great significance.

This article describes the rapid development of the semiconductor industry in recent years and the reliability issues encountered in the development process, and briefly analyzes various failure mechanisms that cause MOS device reliability issues. The mechanism of the generation of NBTI and HCI effects is summarized and explained, and three models of negative bias temperature instability effect and an analysis model of hot carrier injection effect are introduced.

Based on the collected model data and physical parameters, the Sentaurus TCAD simulation software is used to model and simulate MOS tubes and failure mechanisms using the sde module and sdevice module, respectively. NBTI and HCI effects are studied separately, and the transfer characteristic curve and threshold voltage of MOS tubes under different stress conditions are analyzed, followed by a mixed simulation of the two effects. The research results show that under two voltage stresses, NBTI and HCI effects will cause the threshold voltage of the device to drift, and the higher the voltage stress, the higher the drift value. Under a voltage stress of 1.2V and a stress time of 1000s, NBTI alone and mixed failure will cause the threshold voltage of the device to degrade by 7.42% and 9.70%, respectively, which indicates that the threshold voltage of MOS devices will be further affected under the superposition of the two effects, reducing the reliability of the device
