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.
Barrier lowering increases as channel length is reduced, even at zero applied drain bias, because the source and drain form p–n junctions with the body, and so have associated built-in depletion layers associated with them that become significant partners in charge balance at short channel lengths, even with no reverse bias applied to ...
[2] Certain semiconductor fabrication technologies also include deep trench isolation , a related feature often found in analog integrated circuits . The effect of the trench edge has given rise to what has recently been termed the "reverse narrow channel effect" [ 3 ] or "inverse narrow width effect". [ 4 ]
The Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution, or Mead and Conway revolution, was a very-large-scale integration design revolution starting in 1978 which resulted in a worldwide restructuring of academic materials in computer science and electrical engineering education, and was paramount for the development of industries based on the application of microelectronics.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. appeals court on Monday threw out a $2.18 billion patent-infringement award won by patent owner VLSI Technology against Intel Corp, overturning one of the largest ...
[1] [2] NMOS transistors operate by creating an inversion layer in a p-type transistor body. This inversion layer, called the n-channel, can conduct electrons between n-type source and drain terminals. The n-channel is created by applying voltage to the third terminal, called the gate. Like other MOSFETs, nMOS transistors have four modes of ...
[1] [2] In photolithography, several masks are used in turn, each one reproducing a layer of the completed design, and together known as a mask set. A curvilinear photomask has patterns with curves, which is a departure from conventional photomasks which only have patterns that are completely vertical or horizontal, known as manhattan geometry.
