This leads to thermal nonuniformity across integrated circuits (ICs) impacting electromigration (EM), which occurs due to dislocation of conducting elements of interconnects caused by electron flow. Detecting EM risk by accelerated stress methods is an active area of research. This article describes a technique that uses laser to create concentrated area of high temperature, or hot spot. The high temperature is applied to targeted areas of the specific circuit or intellectual property (IP) block of a product, while the rest of the chip continues to operate at standard conditions. The notable benefit from this technique is the capability to selectively accelerate the stressing (EM) process of an individual IP block, rather than stressing the entire chip uniformly.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 5","pages":"2530-2535"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144072962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrons tend to accumulate in the last quantum well (LQW) and escape from the active region because of the weak confinement ability of the quantum barriers (QBs). Besides, the polarization-induced positive charges at the last QB (LQB)/p-type electron blocking layer (p-EBL) interface will attract electrons and consume holes for nonradiative recombination, leading to inadequate carrier concentration in the active region. In this article, we propose DUV LEDs with V-shaped multiple quantum wells (MQWs) to modulate the distribution of carriers in the active region. With the V-shaped MQWs, carriers are inclined to accumulate in the middle quantum well (QW) instead of the last one, and the polarization-induced electric field in the middle QW is also well alleviated, contributing to improved radiative recombination rates. Furthermore, the original positive sheet charges at the LQB/p-EBL interface are converted into negative ones, which is beneficial for suppressing electron overflow and increasing hole injection efficiency. Therefore, the EQE is remarkably improved by 48.1% at an injection current of 150 A/cm2. The V-shaped MQWs provide an effective solution to realize DUV LEDs with high performance.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 5","pages":"2431-2437"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By embedding the highly doped carrier storage (CS) layer into the base region, the electric field intensity near the CS layer is reduced, thus avoiding the breakdown voltage (BV) drop that occurs in conventional carrier stored trench-gate bipolar transistor (CSTBT) devices. The simulation results suggest that the doping concentration of the CS layer in the proposed PBCS device is increased to <inline-formula> <tex-math>$6 times 10^{{17}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> cm<inline-formula> <tex-math>${}^{-{3}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, and the <sc>on</small>-state voltage (<inline-formula> <tex-math>${V}_{text {ON}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) is lowered by 0.1 V without degrading the BV. At the same time, the Miller capacitance is reduced by 39% due to the lower silicon doping concentration at the bottom of the trench gate. Besides, by combining the CS layer region with additional hole-extracting channels, the device switching characteristics are significantly improved with 15% and 13% reduction in turn-on and turn-off loss, respectively. The proposed PBCS device is fully compatible with the existing IGBT manufacturing process, which paves promising pathways for future high-performance power electronic device applications.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 5","pages":"2480-2485"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144072928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the endurance characteristics of the FeFET’s gate-to-source/drain capacitance are analyzed. The study is performed on 28-nm bulk Si FeFET technology, with body contact either grounded or floating. We find that the FeFET device exhibits an erase after program delay, where as the number of pulses during the bipolar stress increases, the ferroelectric switching of the FeFET reduces. During the memory window (MW) evaluation (after the bipolar stress), the system setup delays are longer than the erase after program delay in the actual operation. Hence, the ferroelectric switching is restored showing a full MW. The results indicate that the presence of this erase after program delay imposes a minimum stress frequency on the device, which in turn increases the measurement time. Furthermore, the result points toward the need to re-evaluate the standard endurance measurement practice.","PeriodicalId":13092,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices","volume":"72 5","pages":"2312-2318"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
