The electromigration in 0.15 /spl mu/m to 10 /spl mu/m wide and 0.3 /spl mu/m thick Cu lines deposited by physical vapor deposition has been investigated using both resistance and edge displacement techniques in the sample temperature range 225/spl deg/C-405/spl deg/C. For wide polycrystalline lines (>1 /spl mu/m), the dominant diffusion mechanism is a mixture of grain boundary and surface diffusion, while in narrow lines (< 1 /spl mu/m) the dominant mechanism is surface transport. The electromigration lifetime of fine Cu lines is estimated.","PeriodicalId":286980,"journal":{"name":"1998 5th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

Our calculated results show that the control capability of the gate voltage on the channel current reduces with increasing density of interface states, the transconductance of device decreases.

Charge trapping and defect state creation are the two mechanisms to degrade the transfer characteristics of the TFTs. For a-Si:H TFTs, the charge trapping occurs at a high silicon content in silicon nitride (SiN/sub x/) gate dielectrics or performs at high gate electrical field. Defect state creation dominates at low hydrogen concentration in a-Si:H. At the performance of AC signal, the degradation of transfer curves is associated with bias, frequency, and duty cycle. The characteristics of a-Si:H TFTs shift more with increasing bias voltage and duty cycle. For the frequency effect, the transfer characteristics of a-Si:H TFTs decrease with increasing AC frequency under negative AC signal stress, however, they are independent of the frequency under positive AC signal stress.","PeriodicalId":286980,"journal":{"name":"1998 5th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.
