Abstract
This paper presents a formal computational methodology to explain how the oxide in semiconductors degrades over time and the dependence of oxide degradation on voltage and temperature stresses. The effects of aging are modeled and quantified by modification of the gate-source capacitance value. The model output is validated using experimental results of a thermally aged power semiconductor device.
