The gate-to-substrate capacitances of a plate gate capacitor and finger type capacitor with the same total gate areas are measured with varying gate bias. At the peak point of difference between the two capacitor data, overlap length is extracted using a simple formula. This method is evaluated using the two-dimensional device simulator.","PeriodicalId":432935,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117064601","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 following three items are newly observed. First, the threshold voltage shift (/spl Delta/Vth) of the memory cell under gate stress condition (read disturb condition) consists of two regions, a decay region and a steady state region. The decay region is due to both the initial trapping or detrapping of carriers in the tunnel oxide and the decay of the stress induced leakage current of the tunnel oxide. The steady state region is determined by the saturation of the stress induced leakage current of the tunnel oxide. Second, the read disturb life time is mainly determined by the steady state region for the oxide thickness of 5.7-10.6 nm investigated here. Third, a high temperature (125/spl deg/C) write/erase operation degrades the steady state region characteristics in comparison with room temperature (30/spl deg/C) operation. Therefore, accelerated write/erase tests can be carried out at higher operation temperatures.","PeriodicalId":432935,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123748038","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}
