This paper deals with wirebond and metallization degradation of integrated vertical DMOS switches that are stressed with periodic power dissipation pulses under laboratory conditions. The test setup is briefly described as well as the test results. Physical failure analysis proves that migration phenomena in the power metallization, as well as bond wire delamination, play a crucial role in device aging. A model of time to failure is derived from measured data. It implies that thermomechanical as well as electrical mechanisms contribute to final device failure. Several hypotheses are discussed, showing that the wirebond-metallization interface is most probably the weak point of power switch robustness. Further tasks will therefore include evaluating possible improvements on power metallization and bond connection reliability.","PeriodicalId":287103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference (IEEE Cat.

While this excess low-frequency (LF) noise source is fairly easily observed in ELTRAN (E) p-and UNIBOND (U) nMOSFETs, when the back-gate voltage (V/sub GB/) is in accumulation, this is not true for their n-(E) and p-channel (U) counterparts. It is be demonstrated that the origin of this novel noise source resembles the one of the electron valence band (EVB) tunnelling related Lorentzians, although it occurs at front-gate voltages below the EVB tunnelling threshold. It is shown that in this case, the RC-filtered Nyquist noise of the source and drain junctions at the back interface is the main cause of the excess Lorentzians.","PeriodicalId":287103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference (IEEE Cat.
