Abstract

A companion analysis of self-heating effect in CMOS SOI, degradation of circuit performance and impact on long term reliability because of SHE is presented. Band-gap voltage, output impedance degradation due to SOI self-heating is discussed, and an efficient scheme for designing long term reliable pulse width modulation controller has been discussed along with silicon and reliability test results.
