It is shown that 1/f noise measurements can be used for early EM damage detection during EM stress, before any changes in the resistance of the sample are observable. Also, the temperature dependence of the low frequency noise is used to calculate activation energies, which are then demonstrated to be similar to values found for electromigration using standard EM tests. Furthermore, the 1/f noise technique is used to assess and compare the EM properties of various advanced integration schemes and different materials. The 1/f noise measurements provide new evidence for the importance of grain boundary diffusion as a dominant EM failure mechanism in highly scaled interconnects.","PeriodicalId":172129,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124360170","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}

Furthermore, in order to guarantee the precise estimation of HCI under circuit level AC condition, a new empirical HCI lifetime model decoupled from the SHE is proposed, which is further verified by the Si data from nanosecond pulsed waveform HCI stress and Ring Oscillator stress results.","PeriodicalId":172129,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128451498","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}

As a result, we propose a physics-based compact model for analog-stress NBTI which builds upon the extensive TCAD analysis of our ultra-short-delay experimental data. The numerical efficiency of the compact model allows its direct coupling to electric circuit simulators and permits to accurately account for NBTI degradation already during circuit design. Our model enables the calculation of the time-dependent NBTI variability of single device and of circuit performance parameters. We demonstrate our NBTI model on an operational amplifier and calculate the mean drift and variability of its offset voltage.","PeriodicalId":172129,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128248359","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}

In this paper, we examine the veracity of common TDDB models by using a large set of failure data spanning 3 pitches. Key components of the approach include (i) investigating the universality of failure time data at 3 pitches and different test structure areas using area scaling, (ii) using the universal curve of failure time data to test the acceleration model for 3 pitches and (iii) examining the ability of the models to extrapolate to low field data using high field data for fitting and vice versa. While almost all models seem appropriate when entire set of data (low and high field) is used to fit, fitting only high or low field data and testing the ability to predict low and high fields respectively, shows that power-law and impact damage models extrapolate much better than the root-E model that shows systematic deviation during extrapolation.","PeriodicalId":172129,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132505653","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}

Unlike conventional statistical sampling, we have found that all parameters (β and T63) and area scaling characteristics of reconstructed Weibull distributions along with T63 variation (σT63) across the sampling units (chips or dies) show a strong dependence on sampling number per unit (chip). We developed the statistical theory to correctly characterize the sampling number dependence of reconstructed Weibull slope and σT63, including a criterion for the general applicability of the sampling-based reconstruction methodology. We have examined why the big-data deconvolution approach cannot be used for BEOL/MOL dielectrics with multiple variability sources. The sampling-number dependence of reconstructed T63 fundamentally nullifies the feasibility of this approach while sampling-number dependence of area scaling should be always demonstrated prior to the use this methodology. Finally, we show that VBD results can provide misleading conclusions due to the different scaling property of variance in Vbd and Tbd in use of reconstruction methodology.","PeriodicalId":172129,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125384826","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}
