Radiation response of pseudo-MOS transistors fabricated in hardened fully-depleted SIMOX SOI wafers

The total dose radiation response of pseudo-MOS transistors fabricated in hardened and unhardened FD (fully-depleted) SIMOX (Separation by Implanted Oxygen) SOI (Silicon-on-insulator) wafers is presented.At 1 Mrad(Si) radiation dose, the threshold voltage shift of the pseudo-MOS transistor is reduced from -115.5 to -1.9 V by the hardening procedure.The centroid location of the net positive charge trapped in BOX, the hole-trap density and the hole capture fraction of BOX are also shown.The results suggest that hardened FD SIMOX SOI wafers can perform well in a radiation environment.     

New physical model to explain logarithmic time dependence of data retention in flash EEPROM

Data retention after program/erase (P/E) cycles is one of the most important reliability issues in a flash EEPROM. Electron detrapping is the main cause of data leakage in the state-of-the-art flash EEPROM. The log(t) dependence of ΔV_th is a unique aspect of the electron detrapping. To explain log(t) dependence, we have assumed that after electron detrapping, the positive-ionized trap reduces the probability of electrons in the influence area being emitted from their site. Based on this assumption, we have proposed a model of detrapping which is consistent with the experimental results.     

Process and device characteristics of self-assembled metal nano-crystal EEPROM

Metal nanocrystals self-assembled on gate tunneling oxide can be used to replace the conventional Si/Ge nanocrystals as the floating gate in EEPROM cells. We have demonstrated the successful use of Au and W with their respective process dependence and self-assembly characteristics. The new material options can potentially enhance the applicability and functionality of the nanocrystal EEPROM device. Implications on process integration, in particular the control oxide growth and overall thermal budget, are examined by microscopy, gate current injection and channel mobility monitoring. Charging by hot-carrier injection and control gate tunneling have both been observed by shifts in I–V characteristics. The electrostatic behavior of metal nanocrystals is similar to that of Si nanocrystals in terms of the asymmetrical threshold voltage on source–drain reversal after hot-carrier injection and the Coulomb blockade effects. The electrodynamic behavior is expected to be quite different due to the density of states, but further study is required for quantitative analysis.     

Comparative analysis of influence of gamma radiation on programmable memory characteristics

The aim of this paper is to examine the reliability of erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) and electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) components subjected to the influence of gamma radiation. This problem is of considerable significance for both military industry and space technology. We present total dose results for the NM27C512 8F85 EPROM and M24128 – B W BN 5 T P EEPROM components. There is evidence that EPROM components radioactive reliability is better than that of EEPROM components. Furthermore, the changes EPROM's undergoes are reversible, so that after erasing process and reprogramming all EPROM components are fully functional. On the other hand, EEPROM's changes are irreversible and when subjected to the influence of gamma radiation, all EEPROM components become permanently nonfunctional. The obtained results are analyzed and explained via the interaction of gamma radiation with oxide layers.     

Total dose radiation response of modified commercial silicon-on-insulator materials with nitrogen implanted buried oxide

Nitrogen ions of various doses are implanted into the buried oxide(BOX) of commercial silicon-on-insulator(SOI) materials,and subsequent annealings are carried out at various temperatures.The total dose radiation responses of the nitrogen-implanted SOI wafers are characterized by the high frequency capacitance-voltage(C-V) technique after irradiation using a Co-60 source.It is found that there exist relatively complex relationships between the radiation hardness of the nitrogen implanted BOX and the nitrogen implantation dose at different irradiation doses.The experimental results also suggest that a lower dose nitrogen implantation and a higher post-implantation annealing temperature are suitable for improving the radiation hardness of SOI wafer.Based on the measured C-V data,secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS),and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy,the total dose responses of the nitrogen-implanted SOI wafers are discussed.     

选择性埋氧层上硅器件的单粒子瞬态响应的温度相关性

本文建立了90 nm工艺下的绝缘体上硅浮体器件和选择性埋氧层上硅器件模型,通过器件电路混合仿真探究了工作温度对上述两种结构的多级反相器链单粒子瞬态脉冲宽度以及器件内部电荷收集过程的影响.研究表明, N型选择性埋氧层上硅器件相较于浮体器件具有更好的抗单粒子能力,但P型选择性埋氧层上硅器件的抗单粒子能力在高线性能量转移值下与浮体器件基本相同.同时电荷收集的温度相关性分析表明,N型选择性埋氧层上硅器件只存在漂移扩散过程,当温度升高时其电荷收集量变化很小,而N型浮体器件存在双极放大过程,电荷收集量随着温度的升高而显著增加;另外, P型选择性埋氧层上硅器件和浮体器件均存在双极放大过程,当温度升高时P型选择性埋氧层上硅器件衬底中的双极放大过程越来越严重,由于局部埋氧层的存在,反而抑制了其源极的双极放大过程,导致它的电荷收集量要明显少于P型浮体器件.因此选择性埋氧层上硅器件比浮体器件更好地抑制了温度对单粒子瞬态脉冲的影响.

Partially-depleted Silicon-On-Insulator Negative Channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor (SOI NMOS)transistors with different layouts are fabricated on radiation hard Separation by IMplanted OXygen (SIMOX)substrate and tested using 10 keV X-ray radiation sources.The radiation performance is characterized by transistor threshold voltage shift and transistor leakage currents as a function of the total dose up to 2.0×106 rad(Si).The results show that the total dose radiation effects on NMOS devices are very sensitive to their layout structures.     

Spin polarization in quantum dots by radiation field with circular polarization

For circular quantum dot (QD), taking into account the Razhba spin-orbit interaction (SOI), an exact energy spectrum is obtained. For a small SOI constant, the eigenfunctions of the QD are found. It is shown that the application of a radiation field with circular polarization removes the Kramers degeneracy of the QD eigenstates. Effective spin polarization of electrons transmitted through the QD owing to a radiation field with circular polarization is demonstrated.     

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.
