三维数值仿真研究锗硅异质结双极晶体管总剂量效应

为探索锗硅异质结双极晶体管(SiGe HBT)总剂量效应的损伤机理,采用半导体器件三维模拟工具(TCAD),建立电离辐照总剂量效应损伤模型,分析比较电离辐射在SiGe HBT不同氧化层结构的不同位置引入陷阱电荷缺陷后,器件正向Gummel特性和反向Gummel特性的退化特征,获得SiGe HBT总剂量效应损伤规律,并与⁶⁰Coγ辐照实验进行对比.结果表明:总剂量辐照在SiGe HBT器件中引入的氧化物陷阱正电荷主要在pn结附近的Si/SiO₂界面处产生影响,引起pn结耗尽区的变化,带来载流子复合增加,最终导致基极电流增大、增益下降;其中EB Spacer氧化层中产生的陷阱电荷主要影响正向Gummel特性,而LOCOS隔离氧化层中的陷阱电荷则是造成反向Gummel特性退化的主要因素.通过数值模拟分析获得的SiGe HBT总剂量效应损伤规律与不同偏置下⁶⁰Coγ辐照实验的结论符合得较好.     

基于相位相关的柱面全景图像自动拼接算法

提出了一种基于相位相关法的柱面全景图像自动拼接算法.首先推导了柱面投影公式、柱面平移量和平面平移量之间的对应公式;然后利用改进的相位相关法计算出归一化相位相关度的峰值及峰值点坐标,利用峰值作为相关度准则判断两幅图像是否存在重叠部分,利用最大相关度求交自动确定头尾图像,利用峰值点坐标判断两幅相邻网像的位置关系;最后将环绕拍摄的序列图像投影到柱面坐标系下,根据计算得到的变换参数进行图像拼接并融合得到柱面全景图像.实验结果表明,该算法能有效地实现顺序混乱的序列图像的自动排序和柱面全景图像拼接,具有较高的稳健性和拼接精度.     

Three-dimensional simulation of fabrication process-dependent effects on single event effects of SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor

The fabrication process dependent effects on single event effects(SEEs) are investigated in a commercial silicon–germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor(SiGe HBT) using three-dimensional(3D) TCAD simulations. The influences of device structure and doping concentration on SEEs are discussed via analysis of current transient and charge collection induced by ions strike. The results show that the SEEs representation of current transient is different from representation of the charge collection for the same process parameters. To be specific, the area of C/S junction is the key parameter that affects charge collection of SEE. Both current transient and charge collection are dependent on the doping of collector and substrate. The base doping slightly influences transient currents of base, emitter, and collector terminals. However, the SEEs of SiGe HBT are hardly affected by the doping of epitaxial base and the content of Ge.     

Synergistic effect of total ionizing dose on single event effect induced by pulsed laser microbeam on SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor

The synergistic effect of total ionizing dose(TID) on single event effect(SEE) in SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor(HBT) is investigated in a series of experiments. The SiGe HBTs after being exposed to 60 Co g irradiation are struck by pulsed laser to simulate SEE. The SEE transient currents and collected charges of the un-irradiated device are compared with those of the devices which are irradiated at high and low dose rate with various biases. The results show that the SEE damage to un-irradiated device is more serious than that to irradiated SiGe HBT at a low applied voltage of laser test. In addition, the g irradiations at forward and all-grounded bias have an obvious influence on SEE in the SiGe HBT, but the synergistic effect after cutting off the g irradiation is not significant. The influence of positive oxide-trap charges induced by TID on the distortion of electric field in SEE is the major factor of the synergistic effect. Moreover, the recombination of interface traps also plays a role in charge collection.
