A compact aging model for circuit simulation has been developed by considering all possible trapped carriers within MOSFETs. The hot carrier effect and the N(P)BTI effect are modeled by integrating the substrate current as well as the oxide field change due to the trapped carriers. Additionally, the carriers trapped within the highly resistive drift region are included for high-voltage (HV)-MOSFET modeling. The aging model considers the dynamic trap-density increase as a function of circuit-operation time with dynamically varying stress conditions for each individual MOSFET. A self-consistent solution is obtained by iteratively solving the Poisson equation including the trap density. The model is verified to be applicable for any type of MOSFETs covering advanced technologies as well as HV-MOSFETs.
