By performing Monte Carlo simulations based on a thermochemical percolative model, we demonstrate, first of all, that in the case of a homogeneous dielectric the intrinsic TDDB spread arising from the statistics of local degradation of the material and percolative conduction across its entire thickness is negligible with respect to what typically observed experimentally. The experimental TDDB spread is, then, reproduced in the modeling framework by introducing inhomogeneities in the local material properties, giving rise to additional variability in the degradation dynamics leading to device breakdown. This approach is, finally, shown to be capable to explain the dependence of the TDDB spread on the magnitude of the electric field stressing the device.","PeriodicalId":276855,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Latin American Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117175522","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}

One of the causes of device degradation is the effect of the total ionizing dose (TID). The accumulation of positive charges in silicon oxide (SiO2) is the main problem that generates the TID, the accumulation of charges causes changes in the threshold voltage, leakage current and the generation of parasitic transistors between N-type regions. To reduce the degradation caused by TID, several techniques have been researched, one of which is radiation hardening by design (RHBD). This paper presents a new layout technique named hourglass transistor; this new layout improves the radiation response to TID. The behavior of devices with the new layout was analyzed using 3D simulations with physical models, and a 130nm CMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":276855,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Latin American Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115816792","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}
