A model is proposed for the reliability mechanism. During a voltage stress, the leakage current through the antifuse creates localized states which increase the leakage current from 1 nA to tens of nA. The effect eventually saturates and can be annealed out. The amorphous silicon antifuse does not have a catastrophic failure mechanism such as the Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown found in dielectric antifuses. The increase in the amorphous silicon antifuse leakage current is predictable and reproducible. The increase does not effect the reliability of the Field Programmable Gate Array which uses this antifuse as a programmable interconnect. The FPGA product has been stressed for 200 million equivalent device hours with a 7.0 volt static burn in with no failures.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276224,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121888593","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 behavior may be understood in terms of plasma concepts. The ability to empirically characterize the J-V characteristics of charging sources using the CHARM-2 monitor wafers opens the way for prediction of failure rates of oxides subjected to specific processes, if the oxide Q/sub bd/ distributions are known.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276224,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126403427","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}

Prior to dielectric breakdown, leakage current at stress voltage increases with large and complex fluctuations for any sample. So-called stress-induced leakage current at low voltages in current-voltage characteristics is also observed and it increases as the stress continues. It is shown that the stress-induced leakage current and the pre-breakdown leakage current with fluctuations are identical phenomena, and that the stress-induced leakage current strongly relates to the dielectric breakdown. Therefore,it is important to understand the mechanism of the stress-induced leakage current in order to improve antifuse reliabilities. Discrete two-step fluctuations on the stress-induced leakage currents at low voltages are found and the stress-induced leakage current is not proportional to antifuse areas. Considering these findings, it is concluded that the stress-induced leakage current flows through local spots. The conduction mechanism of the stress-induced leakage currents is also studied. The main conduction process in SiN films appears to be Frenkel-Poole conduction. We also find that as the stress continues, the barrier height between an electrode and a SiN film becomes lower and the dielectric constant becomes larger. It is also found that the appearance of the stress-induced leakage current in the I-V characteristics depends on the thickness of the barrier metal. Dielectric breakdown electric field and TDDB lifetime also show the same dependence. Considering the experimental results, the stress-leakage current is related to the electrode material.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276224,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129045264","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}

Wafer processors have steadily reduced sodium content to increasingly low levels in the gate oxide area. However, levels as high as 5E18 cm/sup -3/ are still commonly detected around metal layers in the industry. The industry has until now relied on the BPSG layer to prevent penetration into the active gate area. This approach is usually effective, but not bulletproof. Pinholes or thin spots in BPSG film still allow sodium ions to seep through. This protective or inter-dielectric layer. As part of a strong commitment to achieve built-in reliability, Siliconix launched a project to totally eliminate sodium from its products. As reported in this paper.

We present one approach to 'building-in reliability', by developing a database of electro- and stress-migration, and microstructural data for several Al-Cu(1.5%):Ti-W metallurgies. By performing experiments that exceed the targets for a given technology, the key process and design parameters impacting reliability for subsequent technologies were identified. In this paper we present experimental results obtained developing this database. We also show the development of a simple predictive model, for lines and vias, based on the key process and design parameters.

The first two are light-induced voltage alteration (LIVA) imaging techniques that (1) localize open-circuited and damaged junctions and (2) image transistor logic states. The third technique uses the SOM to control logic states optically from the IC backside. LIVA images are produced by monitoring the voltage fluctuations of a constant current power supply as a laser beam is scanned over the IC. High selectivity for localizing defects has been demonstrated using the LIVA approach. Logic state mapping results, similar to previous work using biased optical beam induced current (OBIC) and laser probing approaches, have also been produced using LIVA. Application of the two LIVA based techniques to backside failure analysis has been demonstrated using an infrared laser source. Optical logic state control is based upon earlier work examining transistor response to photon injection. The physics of each method and their applications for failure analysis are described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276224,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123238617","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}
