It was found that the diluted HF cleaning exhibited a large decrease of boron dose while the SPM cleaning exhibited a suppression of loss of boron dose. It was speculated that inclusion of boron into the chemical oxide layer formed by the SPM treatment contributed to the suppression of loss of boron in the following annealing process.","PeriodicalId":287103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference (IEEE Cat.

The high field transport properties in thin SOI MOSFETs have been investigated, showing for the first time that surface roughness scattering could have a strong impact on the saturation velocity whose value is significantly lower than the value reported for bulk silicon and bulk MOSFETs.

In this paper, substrate noise propagation in lightly doped p-type substrates is studied with a simple test structure. Our study reveals that the current flow is multi-dimensional, and that adjacent layout details (such as nwells and metal wires) influence the propagation between two contacts. The analysis has enabled its to match the measured S/sub 21/ propagation with a simulation model from DC (error<8%) up to 10 GHz with an overall error smaller than 3 dB. Insight in simple structures such as the one considered here, is valuable in improving the understanding of substrate noise in lightly doped substrates.","PeriodicalId":287103,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference (IEEE Cat.
