It has been experimentally shown to be suitable for pad-based local clamping under normal supply voltage (Vdd) range (below 1 V) in high-speed integrated circuits. ESD protection capabilities are investigated using very fast transmission line pulse (VF-TLP) tests to predict the device's performance in charged device model (CDM) ESD events. The FED's advantages in improving transient turn-on behavior and reducing DC leakage current have been analyzed and compared with other Silicon-Controlled-Rectifier (SCR)-based SOI device variations. Technology CAD (TCAD) simulations are used to interpret the turn-on behavior and the physical effects. Process tradeoffs have been evaluated. The work prepares the device for being directly applied to high-speed Input/Output (I/O) circuit and it addresses the severe challenge in CDM ESD protection. The improved device enables the adoption of local clamping scheme that expands the ESD design window.","PeriodicalId":345860,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114179472","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}

Embedded DRAM soft error rate (SER) has become an important subject since more embedded dynamic random access memories (DRAM) are now embedded on the chip as technology advances. Experiments show alpha-SER rapidly declines with embedded DRAM scaling while neutron-SER is less significantly impacted. We develop a simple and rapid method to predict neutron- and alpha-SER scaling trends for embedded DRAM without the use of complicated simulation procedures.","PeriodicalId":345860,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123921627","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}

One of the major factors affecting the soft-error rates is single-event transient (SET) pulse widths. The SET pulse widths, which are controlled by drift, diffusion, and parasitic bipolar transistor parameters, are a strong function of operating temperature. In this work, heavy-ion induced SET pulse widths are reported at temperatures ranging from 25° to 100° C with an autonomous SET capture circuit. Experimental and simulation results in a 90nm bulk CMOS technology indicate an increase as high as 37% in average SET pulse width with increasing operating temperature, with some pulses almost 2 ns long at higher temperatures. The increase in the SET pulse width can be explained by the dependence of bipolar amplification on temperature.","PeriodicalId":345860,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115185476","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}
