In both cases, we observed a close correlation when we compared the SER data of the DSP product memory to the stand-alone SRAM test chip SER data. Our embedded memory SER data is independent of frequency and memory block size, indicating that cell SER is the dominant component of the memory SER. We highlight the importance of the logic SER contribution to the overall chip-level SER. We also discovered a strong data state dependence for latches in the alpha environment, but not in the neutron environment. This discovery illustrates the nature of charge collection processes in these two environments, and lays the foundation for modeling logic SER. We characterized the failure rate of the DSP as it ran a representative end user application, allowing validation of the standard component SER testing methods.","PeriodicalId":320150,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium, 2005.

In 15/spl Aring/ oxide devices, valence-band electron tunneling from Si substrate to poly-gate occurs at a positive gate voltage and results in the splitting of electron and hole quasi Fermi-levels in the channel. The excess low frequency noise is attributed to electron and hole recombination at interface traps between the two quasi Fermi-levels. The trap capture and emission times in the valence band tunneling domain are extracted from random telegraph signals. The dependence of measured trap times on gate voltage is consistent with our proposed model.","PeriodicalId":320150,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium, 2005.

Although several studies have focused on this issue, the physical mechanism of stress-induced degradation in high-k dielectrics is still not clear. In SiO/sub 2//poly-Si gate stacks, most intrinsic degradations are attributed to trap generation leading to the percolation model type failure, while pre-existing defects are believed to contribute to extrinsic mode failure (Olivio, P. et al., 1988). For the HfO/sub 2//TiN gate stack, it has been reported that a similar mechanism was at work (Crupi, F. et al., 2004). However, considering the high density of pre-existing electron traps (Zhan, N. et al., 2003) and the time dependent reversible threshold voltage shift (Lee, B.H. et al., 2004), one may expect that the electron accumulation in the dielectric during electrical stress may cause the modulation of the energy barrier and affect the electron tunneling, which, in turn, may lead to variation of SILC with the stress time. We have investigate the SILC characteristics of HfO/sub 2//TiN gate nMOS and pMOS transistors in conjunction with the trapping/detrapping processes in the high-k dielectric.","PeriodicalId":320150,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium, 2005.

Multilink test structures were used to measure the statistics of the weak-mode early failures and the strong-mode failures as a function of line width. Three line widths: 0.25, 0.175 and 0.125 /spl mu/m, were studied corresponding to the 180, 130 and 90 nm nodes. Results from our studies revealed intrinsic scaling effects through the line width dependence of the strong-mode EM statistics which are as expected. However, process-related issues were observed leading to decreasing early failure lifetime and reliability degradation for the 0.125 /spl mu/m interconnects. The effect of barrier thickness scaling on the (jL)/sub c/ product was studied using Ta barriers ranging from 75 /spl Aring/ to 175 /spl Aring/ in thickness. The (jL)/sub c/ product was found to decrease with decreasing barrier thickness and the trend can be attributed to a decreasing confinement effect which was estimated using an effective elastic modulus.","PeriodicalId":320150,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium, 2005.

After a 1000-hour SM test, via chain structures at the edge of the wafer were observed to have extremely high resistance due to the formation of stress-induced voids at the silicon nitride (Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/) cap/via interface around the perimeter of the gouging via and at the via bottom. One of the dominant causes for this phenomenon was attributed to the presence of process-induced weak points resulting from poor diffusion barrier layer coverage at the sidewall of the via bottom. In addition, a simulation model based on a three dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) was developed to study the stress distribution of a gouging via. The simulation results showed that high tensile stress was found at the Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ cap/via interface around the perimeter of the gouging via. It is believed that at high temperature stressing, the presence of process-induced weak points, coupled with the high tensile stress, favor void nucleation. The steep stress gradient developed around the void vicinity after its nucleation was proposed to be the dominant driving force for subsequent vacancy accumulation and void growth extending beneath the gouging via, thus leading eventually to an open circuit. The effect of via gouging on the SM performance of Cu interconnects was also discussed.","PeriodicalId":320150,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium, 2005.

These two types of test involve very different temperature gradient and current density conditions. These differences of stress condition may affect the determination of electromigration parameters, namely the activation energy, Ea, and the current exponent, n, as described in the empirical Black's law: MTF = A.j/sup -n/exp(Ea/kT). The apparent evolution of n and Ea is critical because it complicates the calculation of extrapolated lifetime. To elucidate this apparent inconsistency, we built a numerical model of the flux of matter in a copper line to simulate lifetime and acceleration factor corresponding to wafer and package level electromigration tests. Our numerical model is able to simulate TTF corresponding to electromigration tests on a wide range of current density (two orders of magnitude). The analysis of simulated TTF predicts that the error in Black's law parameters Ea and n may occur both from wafer level (high current density and Joule heating) and package level (low current density). As a consequence, we recommend taking into consideration temperature gradients as well as the Blech effect to extrapolate lifetime correctly.","PeriodicalId":320150,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium, 2005.
