Abstract
We propose a model, validated with simulations, describing how band-to-band tunneling (BBT) affects the leakage current degradation in some irradiated fully-depleted SOI devices. It is demonstrated that the drain current dependence on total ionizing dose at negative gate bias can result from the combination of BBT and charge buildup in the BOX, including the transition to the high current state. The role of impact ionization is examined.
