Hi Guys,
I have a question here.
I encountered one bad PMOS which requires 1.2V (Threshold Voltage) to turn on compared to a good PMOS which only requires 0.7V (Threshold Voltage) to turn on, in one of my failure analysis on a FPGA device.
I would like to find out what is the root cause which can cause the PMOS to turn on at a higher Vt.Could it due to the length of the channel between Drain and source? When the length of the channel increases, the resistance also increases, thus, more voltage is needed to drive electrons from drain to source? Eventually the Vt is higher in order for the transistor to turn on.
