The authors have used the Finite-Element Diffusion Simulation System (FEDSS), an advanced two-dimensional process simulator, in the simulator of an SOI process technology. They have modeled the nFET portion of one variant of Harry Diamond Laboratories' CMOS process. All portions of the process that affect the nFET device characteristics have been included in the simulation. An input file describing the process was generated along with an initial finite-element mech upon which FEDSS will act. Each step of the process was then modeled, and the results were analyzed to ensure conformance to the process specifications. A cross-sectional profile and the corresponding two-dimensional doping contour characteristics resulted. These were then translated into expected parametric characteristics and compared to the characteristics of actual devices prepared by the process.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":391934,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Recent improvements have rendered SIMOX (separation by implanted oxygen) material suitable for direct fabrication of radiation-hard and high-performance CMOS devices in the superficial Si film. A persistent problem is the presence of dislocations with undesirably high densities. These residual dislocations are attributed to the vast amounts of Si point defects that are generated in the collision cascades during the high-dose oxygen implantation. By careful optimization of the implant conditions the dislocation content has been reduced by several orders of magnitude to less than 10/sup 5/ cm/sup -2/. For this low-dislocation-content SIMOX material, the superficial Si film exhibits ordering of the oxide precipitates. In the as-implanted structure the dislocations are confined to the lower part of the superficial Si film, where no oxide precipitate ordering occurred. Precipitate ordering and silicon point defects have been shown to play an important role in the establishment of the final microstructure during oxygen implantation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":391934,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The authors have investigated the capability of CMOS/SOS circuits fabricated in a 1.25- mu m DLM technology. The circuits included delay chains, a shift register, gate arrays, and a 8KX8 SRAM.

The preradiation and postradiation performances of circuits were compared to their calculated capability. This included performance under transient radiation conditions. 64K SRAMS were fabricated with an access time under 20 ns. These circuits have demonstrated total dose tolerance in excess of 1 Mrad (Si) and transient upset of 5*10/sup 11/ rad (Si)/s.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":391934,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The operation of NMOS transistors made in laser-recrystallized SOI material has been investigated at both 77 K and 4 K. The back-gate voltage (and its history) turns out to have an important influence on the characteristics. It is found that by applying adequate pulses at the back gates, a variety of stable operating states, which are reflected in a variety of threshold voltages, can be established. This multistable behavior of SOI-NMOS transistors at low temperatures is illustrated for a bistable case at 77 K. By applying different back-gate conditions it is possible to obtain different high-threshold states. Stress measurements confirm the stability of the various states. A very similar behavior is also found for transistors operating at 4 K.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":391934,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
