How does NBTI work/happen? The article only says something about the effects (increased threshold) but nothing about the causes. Interp (talk) 10:54, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is because it is still not clear and a "hot" research topic (2011)! The effects (temperature and oxide field dependent threshold shifts, RTN) are more or less known, whilst the exact cause is still lively debated.
In my opinion most of the cited articles (scientific papers) in here are rather outdated.
Long story short: Exact cause unkown
The cause is important to make lifetime predictions.
I'm myself involved into (N)BTI research. Wikipedia should not put original research onto one of it's pages. That's my opinion.
Imho it would be good just to state the effects and say that the cause is unknown and subject to current research.
