tend to operate in saturation conditions more often than the long-channel devices.
Velocity-saturation causes the short-channel device to saturate at substantially smaller values of VDS resulting in a substantial drop in current drive(for V(for VDS DS = 2.5V, W/L = 1.5)= 2.5V, W/L = 1.5)

Hot Carrier EffectsHot Carrier Effects Electrons become “hothot”, i.e. reaching a critical
high level of energy, under intense electric field which occurs when the channel is short.
EEcritcrit ≈ 10 ≈ 1044 V/m V/m
Hot electrons can leave the silicon and tunnel into the gate oxide.
Electrons trap in the gate oxide increase NMOS threshold and decrease PMOS threshold.
Hot electron phenomenon leads to a long-term reliability problem.

Latchup causes positive feedback of the current until the circuit fails or burns out.
To avoid Latchup, RRnwellnwell and RRpsubspsubs should be minimized.
