It provides the essential mathematical and physical analyses of all the electrical, mechanical and thermal effects in MOS transistors relevant to the operation of integrated circuits. Particular emphasis is placed on how the BSIM model evolved into the first ever industry standard SPICE MOSFET model for circuit simulation and CMOS technology development. The discussion covers the theory and methodology of how a MOSFET model, or semiconductor device models in general, can be implemented to be robust and efficient, turning device physics theory into a production-worthy SPICE simulation model. Special attention is paid to MOSFET characterization and model parameter extraction methodologies, making the book particularly useful for those interested or already engaged in work in the areas of semiconductor devices, compact modeling for SPICE simulation, and integrated circuit design.","PeriodicalId":256342,"journal":{"name":"International Series on Advances in Solid State Electronics and Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124618719","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}

This book begins with an overview on the different device designs of modern bipolar transistors, along with their relevant operating conditions; while the subsequent chapter on transistor theory is subdivided into a review of mostly classical theories, brought into context with modern technology, and a chapter on advanced theory that is required for understanding modern device designs. This book aims to provide a solid basis for the understanding of modern compact models.","PeriodicalId":256342,"journal":{"name":"International Series on Advances in Solid State Electronics and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130444542","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}
{"title":"Electromigration in ULSI Interconnections","authors":"C. Tan","doi":"10.1142/7294","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/7294","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The first reported work on electromigration (EM) was presented in 1959, and since then extensive studies on the EM are being conducted theoretically, experimentally and numerically. In this work, the history and the evolution on the studies of EM are presented for both Al and Cu interconnection. Electron wind force was proposed to be the driving force for EM. However, as the interconnect line width shrinks to sub-micrometer level, other driving forces become important and even dominating. As a result, the conventional diffusion path approach for the modeling of EM is inadequate, and the driving force approach is needed. Both approaches are presented in this work. The extensive studies of EM lead to a much better understanding of the physics of EM, and with this understanding, the factors that affect the EM of interconnects, especially at the field operating conditions are identified and presented here. This identification leads to various design and process modifications and inventions in order to face the challenges of high EM reliability for an ever shrinking interconnection. The understanding of EM has also led to a better EM testing methodology in order to accurately assess the EM of an interconnection. Rigorous statistical analysis of EM test data is another key factor for this accurate assessment. In this work, we presented both the wafer level and package EM testing methodologies, and the rigorous data analysis that takes into account of the bimodal distribution of EM test data.","PeriodicalId":256342,"journal":{"name":"International Series on Advances in Solid State Electronics and Technology","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121128364","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}
