Abstract
In this paper, the self-heating effect for multi-finger fully depleted SOI nMOSFETs is investigated. The layout parameters of the transistor are varied, and the conductance-based method is used for the extraction of the thermal resistance. An empirical-based scalable thermal resistance model that accounts for geometrical layout parameters is developed. Further, hot carrier stress degradation is examined, and a correlation between self-heating and hot carrier degradation is established. The associated self-heating with geometrical dimension influences the amount of hot carrier degradation and should be taken into account for accurate degradation modeling. It is found that with the increase of temperature, the contribution of the parasitic bias temperature instability effect increases the drift of the threshold voltage. Improved thermal and reliability performance is achieved for the device structures where a continuous active area is divided into multiple smaller active regions.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the publication includes, but is not limited to Reliability of: Devices, Materials, Processes, Interfaces, Integrated Microsystems (including MEMS & Sensors), Transistors, Technology (CMOS, BiCMOS, etc.), Integrated Circuits (IC, SSI, MSI, LSI, ULSI, ELSI, etc.), Thin Film Transistor Applications. The measurement and understanding of the reliability of such entities at each phase, from the concept stage through research and development and into manufacturing scale-up, provides the overall database on the reliability of the devices, materials, processes, package and other necessities for the successful introduction of a product to market. This reliability database is the foundation for a quality product, which meets customer expectation. A product so developed has high reliability. High quality will be achieved because product weaknesses will have been found (root cause analysis) and designed out of the final product. This process of ever increasing reliability and quality will result in a superior product. In the end, reliability and quality are not one thing; but in a sense everything, which can be or has to be done to guarantee that the product successfully performs in the field under customer conditions. Our goal is to capture these advances. An additional objective is to focus cross fertilized communication in the state of the art of reliability of electronic materials and devices and provide fundamental understanding of basic phenomena that affect reliability. In addition, the publication is a forum for interdisciplinary studies on reliability. An overall goal is to provide leading edge/state of the art information, which is critically relevant to the creation of reliable products.
