绝缘体上硅金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管中辐射导致的寄生效应研究

基于⁶⁰Co γ射线源研究了总剂量辐射对绝缘体上硅（silicon on insulator,SOI）金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管器件的影响.通过对比不同尺寸器件的辐射响应,分析了导致辐照后器件性能退化的不同机制.实验表明：器件的性能退化来源于辐射增强的寄生效应;浅沟槽隔离（shallow trench isolation,STI）寄生晶体管的开启导致了关态漏电流随总剂量呈指数增加,直到达到饱和;STI氧化层的陷阱电荷共享导致了窄沟道器件的阈值电压漂移,而短沟道器件的阈值电压漂移则来自于背栅阈值耦合;在同一工艺下,尺寸较小的器件对总剂量效应更敏感.探讨了背栅和体区加负偏压对总剂量效应的影响,SOI器件背栅或体区的负偏压可以在一定程度上抑制辐射增强的寄生效应,从而改善辐照后器件的电学特性.

Bias Dependence of Radiation-Induced Narrow-Width Channel Effects in 65 nm NMOSFETs

The bias dependence of radiation-induced narrow-width channel effects(RINCEs) in 65-nm n-type metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistors(NMOSFETs) is investigated. The threshold voltage of the narrow-width65 nm NMOSFET is negatively shifted by total ionizing dose irradiation, due to the RINCE. The experimental results show that the 65 nm narrow-channel NMOSFET has a larger threshold shift when the gate terminal is kept in the ground, which is contrary to the conclusion obtained in the old generation devices. Depending on the three-dimensional simulation, we conclude that electric field distribution alteration caused by shallow trench isolation scaling is responsible for the anomalous RINCE bias dependence in 65 nm technology.     

Comprehensive study on hot carrier reliability of radiation hardened H-gate PD SOI NMOSFET after gamma radiation

ABSTRACT

The authors perform gamma ray irradiation and hot carrier stress on RH H-Gate PD (partially depleted) SOI NMOSFETs as the experimental group and commercial strip-shaped gate PD SOI NMOSFETs as the control group. They analyse HCI degradation in samples and conclude that radiation could enhance HCI degradation in RH H-gate samples. Moreover, the mechanism is explained as the coupling effect between the front gate and back gate caused by TID radiation-induced trap charges in the buried oxide.

Dose rate dependence of carrier mobility

The trap-modulated steady-state carrier mobility in insulators depends on the relation between free and trapped carriers. Under irradiation this relation changes due to the radiation-induced shift of the Fermi level. Therefore mobility is a function of dose rate. This function can be calculated when the radiation-induced steady-state conductivity is given as a function of dose rate. If the latter is given by a power law, the former is also given by such a law.     

A unified drain current 1/f noise model for GaN-based high electron mobility transistors

In this work, we present a theoretical and experimental study on the drain current 1/f noise in the AIGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor （HEMT）. Based on both mobility fluctuation and carrier number fluctuation in a two- dimensional electron gas （2DEG） channel of AlGaN/GaN HEMT, a unified drain current 1/f noise model containing a piezoelectric polarization effect and hot carrier effect is built. The drain current 1/f noise induced by the piezoelectric polarization effect is distinguished from that induced by the hot carrier effect through experiments and simulations. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Experiments show that after hot carrier injection, the drain current 1/f noise increases four orders of magnitude and the electrical parameter degradation Agm/gm reaches 54.9%. The drain current 1/f noise degradation induced by the piezoelectric effect reaches one order of magnitude; the electrical parameter degradation Agm/gm is 11.8%. This indicates that drain current 1/f noise of the GaN-based HEMT device is sensitive to the hot carrier effect and piezoelectric effect. This study provides a useful reliability characterization tool for the A1GaN/GaN HEMTs.     

A numerical model for the leakage characteristics in ferroelectric thin films under ionizing radiation

A numerical model is developed to describe the leakage characteristics in ferroelectric thin films under ionizing radiation. The trap-controlled space-charge-limited conduction mechanism is modified by considering radiation-induced charge carriers and changes in the relative dielectric constant. The effect of dose rate is related to the changes in the carrier mobility. Numerical simulation using this model reveals a radiation hardness of 10 Mrad(Si) for barium strontium titanate (BST) thin films at a constant dose rate of 10 Krad(Si)/s. Differences in the leakage behavior under radiation for different conduction regions are also discussed. This model provides a useful tool in predicting the leakage behavior under ionizing radiation and estimating the radiation hardness for ferroelectric materials.     

Study on the degradation of NMOSFETs with ultra-thin gate oxide under channel hot electron stress at high temperature

This paper studies the degradation of device parameters and that of stress induced leakage current (SILC) of thin tunnel gate oxide under channel hot electron (CHE) stress at high temperature by using n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (NMOSFETs) with 1.4-nm gate oxides. The degradation of device parameters under CHE stress exhibits saturating time dependence at high temperature. The emphasis of this paper is on SILC of an ultra-thin-gate-oxide under CHE stress at high temperature. Based on the experimental results, it is found that there is a linear correlation between SILC degradation and V_h degradation in NMOSFETs during CHE stress. A model of the combined effect of oxide trapped negative charges and interface traps is developed to explain the origin of SILC during CHE stress.     

Exploring the effect of width on performance enhancement in NMOSFETs with a silicon-carbon alloy stressor and a tensile stress silicon nitride liner

The stress distribution in the Si channel regions of a SiC source/drain and stressed silicon nitride liner NMOSFETs with various widths were studied using 3D simulations. The mobility enhancement was found to be dominated by the tensile stress along the transport direction. Stress along the width direction was found to have the least effect on the drain current. The compressive stress along the vertical direction perpendicular to the gate oxide (S_zz) contributes significantly to the mobility enhancement and cannot be neglected in NMOSFETs with a width between 0.05 and 1 μm. The impact of width on performance improvements such as the drive current gain was also analyzed.     

Evaluation of negative bias temperature instability in ultra-thin gate oxide pMOSFETs using a new on-line PDO method

A new on-line methodology is used to characterize the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) without inherent recovery. Saturation drain voltage shift and mobility shift are extracted by I_D-V_D characterizations, which were measured before stress, and after every certain stress phase, using the proportional differential operator (PDO) method. The new on-line methodology avoids the mobility linearity assumption as compared with the previous on-the-fly method. It is found that both reaction--diffusion and charge-injection processes are important in NBTI effect under either DC or AC stress. A similar activation energy, 0.15 eV, occurred in both DC and AC NBTI processes. Also degradation rate factor is independent of temperature below 90\du\ and sharply increases above it. The frequency dependence of NBTI degradation shows that NBTI degradation is independent of frequencies. The carrier tunnelling and reaction--diffusion mechanisms exist simultaneously in NBTI degradation of sub-micron pMOSFETs, and the carrier tunnelling dominates the earlier NBTI stage and the reaction--diffusion mechanism follows when the generation rate of traps caused by carrier tunnelling reaches its maximum.
