Challenges in comprehensively characterizing AC NBTI induced variation are addressed by the modified method. The additional variation source in AC NBTI, originating from the variations among each AC clock cycle, is found to be non-negligible and thus should be included in predicting circuit stability. With increasing AC frequency, the mean value (μ) of the Vth shift (ΔVth) is reduced as expected; however, the variation (σ) of ΔVth is almost unchanged, which surprisingly disagrees with the conventional model predicting the reduced variation. The origin of this new observation is found due to the competitive impacts of the activated trap number and the trap occupancy probability during device aging. Taken clock-CCV and frequency dependence into account, the impacts of AC NBTI on the SRAM cell stability can be evaluated in terms of both degradation and variation. The results are helpful for the future variability-aware circuit design.","PeriodicalId":6376,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"33 1","pages":"19.5.1-19.5.4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88374231","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 interface between oxide layer and metal electrode is studied using Ramen spectroscopy coupled with electrical measurement. Raman mapping and single point measurements show noticeable changes in both D-band and G-band signals of SLG during electrical cycling. This observation suggests a possible interaction of oxygen migrated from the metal oxide with the graphene.
