FDSOI is ideal for applications needing a balanced trade-off among power, performance and cost, such as the Internet of Things (IoTs). One of the challenges in FDSOI integration is to obtain a low gate to source drain capacitance (overlap capacitance or DC capacitance). To enable this, low k spacer material is needed. In this study we compared two ALD low-k spacer materials namely SiOCN and SiBCN against the conventional SiN spacer. Material characterization reveals SiOCN has lower etch rate than SiBCN. Both materials have good thermal stability. Transistors with SiOCN and SiBCN spacers were formed. Implementation of low-k spacer does not have significant impact on VT variability and oxygen ingress. Transistors with SiOCN and SiBCN spacer exhibited lower DC and AC capacitance without transistor resistance degradation.","PeriodicalId":382735,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on IC Design and Technology (ICICDT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130967000","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}

We present a novel Bayesian learning technique, namely sparse relevance kernel machine (SRKM), for characterizing analog circuits with sparse statistical regression models. SRKM produces more reliable classification models learned from simulation data with a limited number of samples but a large number of parameters, and also computes a probabilistically inferred weighting factor quantifying the criticality of each parameter as part of the overall learning framework. As a result, it offers a powerful tool to enable variability modeling, failure diagnosis, and test development. The effectiveness of SRKM is demonstrated in an example of building a statistical variability model for analyzing the thermal shutdown feature of a data communication AMS system for automotive applications.","PeriodicalId":382735,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on IC Design and Technology (ICICDT)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128176199","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}
