The non-uniform B distribution observed in narrow and short-channel length nFETs may be the origin of threshold voltage fluctuations in nFETs. Significant B fluctuation at doping levels less than 2×1019 cm-3 was found in Si:B and Si:B/Si:P epilayers prepared at intermediate temperatures, indicating that this phenomenon is a particular characteristic of B dopants. The B fluctuation is attributed to segregation of B dopant, which depends on thermal diffusion and occurs even under thermal equivalent conditions without structural stress. Site-specific SSRM is demonstrated to be capable of observing discrete dopants in silicon.","PeriodicalId":341663,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115398846","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}

Current overshoot during set switching is caused by parasitic capacitance, which may be minimized by effective switching control and reduction of parasitic effects. A different form of current overshoot is also observed during reset switching, where devices go through a transient resistance-reduction process before the reset switching occurs. Reset current overshoot increases actual reset power. Current overshoot has significant impact on the reliability and switching power of resistive switching memories.","PeriodicalId":341663,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"355 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131577444","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}

With independently measured parameters, we affirm that for typical HK/MG dielectrics (~1nm IL/3nm HK), significantly higher TG in HK dictates the features of positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) and induces dual-Weibull time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB). We also verify that larger relaxation energy in HK suppresses the contribution of HK to the stress induced leakage current (SILC). This framework helps us resolve broad range of puzzling PBTI, TDDB and SILC experiments regarding time evolution, voltage dependence and temperature activation, and establish an intrinsic correlation between SILC performance and PBTI/TDDB degradations in nMOS HK/MG dielectrics. We use this model to explore the trade-off between IL scaling and dielectric reliability, a discussion that will eventually be useful in optimizing the performance-reliability of CMOS technology with HK/MG stack.","PeriodicalId":341663,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123272358","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}
