Abstract

Describes a particular digital circuit that continues to operate even after the gate oxide in several of its field-effect transistors have undergone hard gate oxide breakdown. Basic parameters of the ring oscillator circuit; Cause of abrupt increases in supply current; Analysis of breakdown sequence.
