Study of the dose rate effect of 180 nm nMOSFETs

Radiation induced offstate leakage in the shallow trench isolation regions of SIMC 0.18 μm nMOSFETs is studied as a function of dose rate. A "true" dose rate effect (TDRE) is observed. Increased damage is observed at low dose rate (LDR) than at high dose rate (HDR) when annealing is taken into account. A new method of simulating radiation induced degradation in shallow trench isolation (STI) is presented. A comparison of radiation induced offstate leakage current in test nMOSFETs between total dose irradiation experiments and simulation results exhibits excellent agreement. The investigation results imply that the enhancement of the leakage current may be worse for the dose rate encountered in the environment of space.     

超深亚微米器件总剂量辐射效应三维数值模拟

本文分析了浅槽隔离(STI)结构辐射诱导电荷的分布情况,给出一种模拟超深亚微米器件总剂量辐射效应的新方法.研究结果表明,如果在栅附近沿着STI侧墙不加辐照缺陷,仿真出的0.18 μm超深亚微米晶体管亚阈区I-V特性没有反常的隆起,并且能够很好地反映试验结果.在研究总剂量辐照特性改善方面,在剂量不是很大的情况下,采用超陡倒掺杂相对于均匀掺杂能有效地减小辐照所引起的泄漏电流.如果采用峰值(Halo)掺杂,不仅有利于提高超深亚微米器件的抗辐照能力,而且在大剂量的情况下,可以得到明显的效果. 关键词： 总剂量 超陡倒掺杂 Halo掺杂 辐射效应
