After one pattern is exposed, the wafer must be removed from the tool, subjected to a series of processes, and then returned for the next pattern. Mechanical handling tolerances cause errors, which are measured by sensing the location of processed patterns; the next pattern is then exposed with appropriate corrections. This pattern registration has become increasingly complicated, because the large-scale integration of more circuits into the same silicon area reduces pattern detail sizes and overlay tolerances.","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126861541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of field data and accelerated lifetest results show the majority of failures to be due to oxide defects with smaller percentages of failures caused by contamination and/or masking defects. Specific attention in the paper is directed to oxide defect failures. The temperature and time dependence of these failures is examined and compared to actual device failure rates. Methods of screening defective oxides in actual RAMS are discussed. It is concluded that the weak temperature dependence of this specific failure mode necessitates over voltage stressing as a prescreen. Accelerated life-tests at high temperature and nominal voltages are relatively ineffective in screening these defects.","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"2001 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123756218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To facilitate fabrication on large diameter wafers, achieve uniform avalanche gain, and obtain quantum efficiencies greater than 90% at 800 to 850 nm, the avalanche photodiodes are constructed from 50 µm thick, high resistivity epitaxial silicon. At an average gain of 100, their resulting excess noise factor is only 4 to 6 times the shot noise limit. Low dark currents and good reliability are achieved through the use of guard rings, channel stops, bulk and surface gettering, dielectric passivation and surface field plates.","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128115234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The device is capable of accepting a 0.5 MHz serial data stream to modulate an illumination source, a laser in the present case, and produce 50 independently modulated optical channels. Test devices have been configured such that an adjacent series of identical modulators can be addressed separately to check the diffraction efficiency of an individual cell as a function of applied voltage.

The CDP 1802, single-chip, 8-bit microprocessor as well as several memory and I/O circuits announced recently by the RCA Solid State Division are fabricated in this new bulk CMOS technology, called C2L or Closed COS/MOS Logic. C2L is a self-aligned silicon gate CMOS technology where the gate completely surrounds the drain. This technique does not require the conventional guardbands of standard Al-gate CMOS and thereby significantly increases packing density as well as device speed, and still retains the inherent advantages of CMOS (very low static power dissipation, high noise immunity and operating voltage from 3 to 15 volts at temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C). The basic C2L device structure is presented and compared to standard Al-gate CMOS. The speed advantages of C2L devices are discussed, and data comparing the performance of C2L circuits with comparable standard CMOS devices is presented. Generally, C2L devices show an improvement in packing density by a factor of 3 over standard CMOS and operate at frequencies approximately 4 to 6 times faster than standard CMOS. The fabrication sequence for C2L devices requires 6 photomasks (one less than standard CMOS).","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123449178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
