Unlike the parameter extraction for compact models, inverse modeling calculates the electrical characteristics with TCAD simulation instead of the analytical formulae of compact models (e.g. BSIM4). The parameters extracted from inverse modeling can be either the process parameters (e.g. Dose, energy, annealing time, etc.), or the device parameters (oxide thickness, peak doping concentration, char. length of Gaussian doping, etc.). Obviously, inverse modeling is an optimization problem to minimize the error between the simulated and the measured electrical characteristics.","PeriodicalId":264913,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126840882","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 O radical flux was assumed as a function of the operating conditions and the function form was determined by fitting etching profiles of the topography simulation to those of the experiment. The model used in the topography simulation was improved in terms of the etching yield dependence on the ion incidence angle. As a result, a large variety of profiles could be simulated accurately under different operational conditions.","PeriodicalId":264913,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124423184","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 effective valence depends on local atomistic configurations of fast diffusivity paths such as metal interfaces, dislocations, and the grain boundary; therefore, microstructural variations lead to a statistically pre-dictable behavior for the EM life time. Quantum mechanical investigations of EM have been carried out on an atomistic level in order to obtain numerically efficient methods for calculating the effective valence. The results of ab initio calculations of the effective valence have been used to parameterize the continuum-level electromigration model and the kinetic Monte Carlo model. The impact of fast diffusivity paths on long term EM behavior is demonstrated with these models.","PeriodicalId":264913,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129309741","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 distribution function obtained by means of a full-band Monte-Carlo device simulator is used to calculate the acceleration integral, which controls how effectively the carriers are breaking Si - H bonds. Therefore, we analyze the worst-case conditions using this integral as a criterion.
