Negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) is a key reliability issue in MOSFETs, a type of transistor aging.NBTI manifests as an increase in the threshold voltage and consequent decrease in drain current and transconductance of a MOSFET.
[1] [10] Since 2005, the clock frequency has stagnated at 4 GHz, and the power consumption per CPU at 100 W TDP. The breakdown of Dennard scaling and resulting inability to increase clock frequencies significantly has caused most CPU manufacturers to focus on multicore processors as an alternative way to improve performance.

The EKV Mosfet model is a mathematical model of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors which is intended for circuit simulation and analog circuit design. [1] It was developed in the Swiss EPFL by Christian C. Enz, François Krummenacher and Eric A. Vittoz (hence the initials EKV) around 1995 based in part on work they had done in ...
Therefore, a plot of drain current versus gate voltage with drain, source, and bulk voltages fixed will exhibit approximately log-linear behaviour in this MOSFET operating regime. Its slope is the subthreshold slope. The subthreshold slope is also the reciprocal value of the subthreshold swing S s-th which is usually given as: [1]
Where is the thermal conductivity, is the density of the medium, is the specific heat, =, the thermal diffusivity and is the rate of heat generation per unit volume. Heat diffuses from the source following the above equation and solution in an homogeneous medium follows a Gaussian distribution.
The basic TFET structure is similar to a MOSFET except that the source and drain terminals of a TFET are doped of opposite types (see figure). A common TFET device structure consists of a P-I-N (p-type, intrinsic, n-type) junction, in which the electrostatic potential of the intrinsic region is controlled by a gate terminal.
This can lead to thermal runaway and the destruction of the MOSFET even when it is operating within its Vds, Id and Pd ratings. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Some (usually expensive) MOSFETs are specified for operation in the linear region and include DC SOA diagrams, e.g. IXYS IXTK8N150L.
