The proposed method is based on a modification of bounded J-Ramp. This technique, besides the control of charge injected into the gate dielectric until its breakdown, gives a capability to monitor a change of charge state of the gate dielectric during all the test procedure. In order to implement this, after ending of a test (current) step we switch the test current to the measurement current level (Jm) for a short time period and this allows to monitor the voltage change across MIS structure at the constant measurement current density. The current density Jm is chosen to meet the condition that at this level a s significant charge degradation of the dielectric should not be observed. Besides, the switches to measurement level should not greatly influence on bounded J-ramp test procedure. The modified J-ramp method proposes to monitor amount of injected charge, at which irreversible degradation of MIS device characteristics takes place (Qdeg), and evaluate reliability of the dielectric film on the basis of statistical measurements of these quantities.","PeriodicalId":388511,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Micro- and Nano-Electronics","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130789241","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}

The manufacturing of such structures, containing features of various size and shape, poses new challenges for the etching process optimization, since the key parameters of the resulting structures depend on the local aspect ratio and the shape of the mask aperture. As an aid in process optimization, we propose a three-dimensional Monte-Carlo simulator for the cryogenic etching of complex structures. It employs a surface kinetics model tuned to SF6/O2 process in 2 1⁄2D geometry and cubic voxel representations of simulation domain. Systematic study on cryogenic etching of test structures of different mask shape and aspect ratio is performed and principal mechanisms affecting etching results are identified.","PeriodicalId":388511,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Micro- and Nano-Electronics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131009342","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}

Considering these requirements, the technology of radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems for the development of passive RF devices allows us to solve the corresponding tasks related to the requirements of 5G and Internet of Things, concerning passive components and building blocks. Packaging of radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems and other passive components is a delicate issue, especially in line with future application contexts such as 5G and the Internet of Things, in which operating frequencies are approaching millimeter waves. In fact, when working with radio-frequency signals, the package, in addition to protecting encapsulated devices, should also have as limited an impact on their electromagnetic characteristics and performance as possible. Therefore, the packaging design stage must be carried out with extreme care. In this study, the verification of the methodology for electromagnetic modeling of a packaging solution at the wafer-level using through silicon vias for redistributing an electrical signal from passive radio-frequency microelectromechanical devices in package to other radio-frequency devices is discussed using the example of the developed capacitive radio-frequency microelectromechanical switch with double-clamp.","PeriodicalId":388511,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Micro- and Nano-Electronics","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134351906","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}

So it can be used as the terminal link in the metrological traceability chain beginning from this standard. But there is an obstacle for its calibration: RS image are changing over time during continuous scanning the measure by electron beam that is natural for measure usage. Changes arise from the variation of the emission of slow secondary electrons (SSE) forming the image of the RS surface. This emission variation appears in turn due to the change of induced charge on the RS surface. Changes of the charge disposed near RS edges have critical influence on RS linewidth that leads to its value uncertainty. It is revealed that the degree of the influence depends on the layout of emitting site on RS sidewall (SW). Emission variations from its lower sites have a less induction on the RS image. So if one uses a regime of SSE extraction from these lower SW sites then the linewidth uncertainty is bound to decrease. Internal parts of the vertical SW are preferred not only due to its higher degree of its surface smoothness compared to its upper parts but also due to its SSE emission stability during scanning.","PeriodicalId":388511,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Micro- and Nano-Electronics","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133470193","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}

The mirror is made with microelectronic technology and consists of two movable bimorph structures made of aluminum and silicon dioxide. A reflective element with an aluminumcoated surface is attached to the movable beams. The movable beams are fixed to a silicon substrate and are controlled by applying а voltage to electrical heating elements formed inside the movable beams. Heating causes uneven expansion of the materials that make up the beams, which in turn causes the structure to move. The proposed design process involves algorithmic design using three developed models to determine the initial parameters of the thermal actuator, its static and dynamic characteristics, and the response to the control action. The use of such an algorithm in the design flow allows for a quick selection of the basic geometric and physical parameters that should ensure that the actuator has the required performance and characteristics. This significantly reduces the time taken during the initial design phase of the device.","PeriodicalId":388511,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Micro- and Nano-Electronics","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133770699","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}

To date, a number of reliability problems are overcome, but some of them get little attention. This work describes the first experimental results on a novel failure mechanism of the MEMS switch with electrostatic actuation. The device is fabricated on a thermally oxidized silicon wafer with chromium adhesive layer. After several thousand working cycles, nanostructures containing adhesive material emerge at the gate. They coalesce into micron-sized defects that touch the beam during actuation and disturb normal operation. The material transfer also takes place at the substrate around the gate. This phenomenon was not reported in the literature, although Cr is widely used for microfabrication. The reasons for material transfer must be revealed in order to exclude this failure mechanism for MEMS devices.","PeriodicalId":388511,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Micro- and Nano-Electronics","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131897445","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}

In this paper, different approaches to plasma etching of cobalt are studied. CO- and halogen-containing plasmas were considered. It seems that etching in CO-based plasma is inefficient.
