深亚微米器件沟道长度对总剂量辐照效应的影响

研究了180 nm 互补金属氧化物半导体技术下的器件沟道长度对总剂量辐照效应的影响. 在其他条件如辐照偏置、器件结构等不变的情况下, 氧化层中的陷阱电荷决定了辐照响应. 浅沟槽隔离氧化层中的陷阱电荷使得寄生的侧壁沟道反型, 从而形成大的关态泄漏电流. 这个电流与沟道长度存在一定的关系, 沟道长度越短, 泄漏电流越大. 首次发现辐照会增强这个电流的沟道长度调制效应, 从而使得器件进一步退化.

电离总剂量对纳米SRAM器件单粒子翻转敏感性的影响

电离总剂量（TID）与单粒子效应（SEE）是纳米SRAM器件在航天应用中的主要威胁。随着CMOS工艺的进步,两种辐射效应在纳米SRAM器件中的协同效应出现了一些新现象,有必要进一步开展深入研究。利用γ射线以及不同种类重离子对两款纳米SRAM器件开展了辐照实验,研究了不同辐照参数、测试模式以及数据图形条件下,电离总剂量对单粒子翻转（SEU）敏感性的影响。研究结果表明,γ射线辐照过后,存储单元中反相器开关阈值减小,漏电流增大,导致SRAM存储单元抗翻转能力降低,SEU截面有明显增大;未观察到"印记效应",数据图形对测试结果没有明显影响;多位翻转（MBU）比例无明显变化。

氮氟复合注入对注氧隔离SOI材料埋氧层内固定正电荷密度的影响

为了抑制埋层注氮导致的埋层内正电荷密度的上升, 本文采用氮氟复合注入方式, 向先行注氮的埋层进行了注氮之后的氟离子注入, 并经适当的退火, 对埋层进行改性. 利用高频电容-电压 (C-V) 表征技术, 对复合注入后的埋层进行了正电荷密度的表征. 结果表明, 在大多数情况下, 氮氟复合注入能够有效地降低注氮埋层内的正电荷密度, 且其降低的程度与注氮后的退火时间密切相关. 分析认为, 注氟导致注氮埋层内的正电荷密度降低的原因是在埋层中引入了与氟相关的电子陷阱. 另外, 实验还观察到, 在个别情况下, 氮氟复合注入引起了埋层内正电荷密度的进一步上升. 结合测量结果, 讨论分析了该现象产生的原因. 关键词： 绝缘体上硅(SOI) 材料 注氮 注氟 埋氧层正电荷密度

辐照下背栅偏置对部分耗尽型绝缘层上硅器件背栅效应影响及机理分析

基于部分耗尽型绝缘层上硅（SOI）器件的能带结构,从电荷堆积机理的电场因素入手,为改善辐照条件下背栅Si/SiO₂界面的电场分布,将半导体金属氧化物（MOS）器件和平板电容模型相结合,建立了背栅偏置模型.为验证模型,利用合金烧结法将背栅引出加负偏置,对NMOS和PMOS进行辐照试验,得出:NMOS背栅接负压,可消除背栅效应对器件性能的影响,改善器件的前栅I-V特性;而PMOS背栅接负压,则会使器件的前栅I-V性能恶化.因此,在利用背栅偏置技术改善SOI/NMOS器件性能的同时,也需要考虑背栅偏置对PMOS的影响,折中选取偏置电压.该研究结果为辐照条件下部分耗尽型SOI/MOS器件背栅效应的改善提供了设计加固方案,也为宇航级集成电路设计和制造提供了理论支持.     

Bias dependence of a deep submicron NMOSFET response to total dose irradiation

Deep submicron n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (NMOSFETs) with shallow trench isolation (STI) are exposed to ionizing dose radiation under different bias conditions.The total ionizing dose radiation induced subthreshold leakage current increase and the hump effect under four different irradiation bias conditions including the worst case (ON bias) for the transistors are discussed.The high electric fields at the corners are partly responsible for the subthreshold hump effect.Charge trapped in the isolation oxide,particularly at the Si/SiO 2 interface along the sidewalls of the trench oxide creates a leakage path,which becomes a dominant contributor to the offstate drain-to-source leakage current in the NMOSFET.Non-uniform charge distribution is introduced into a threedimensional (3D) simulation.Good agreement between experimental and simulation results is demonstrated.We find that the electric field distribution along with the STI sidewall is important for the radiation effect under different bias conditions.     

Total ionizing dose effect in an input/output device for flash memory

Input/output devices for flash memory are exposed to gamma ray irradiation. Total ionizing dose has been shown great influence on characteristic degradation of transistors with different sizes. In this paper, we observed a larger increase of off-state leakage in the short channel device than in long one. However, a larger threshold voltage shift is observed for the narrow width device than for the wide one, which is well known as the radiation induced narrow channel effect. The radiation induced charge in the shallow trench isolation oxide influences the electric field of the narrow channel device. Also, the drain bias dependence of the off-state leakage after irradiation is observed, which is called the radiation enhanced drain induced barrier lowing effect. Finally, we found that substrate bias voltage can suppress the off-state leakage, while leading to more obvious hump effect.     

Impact of substrate bias on radiation-induced edge effects in MOSFETs

This paper investigates the effects of gamma-ray irradiation on the Shallow-Trench Isolation (STI) leakage currents in 180-nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology. No hump effect in the subthreshold region is observed after irradiation, which is considered to be due to the thin STI corner oxide thickness. A negative substrate bias could effectively suppress the STI leakage, but it also impairs the device characteristics. The three-dimensional simulation is introduced to understand the impact of substrate bias. Moreover, we propose a simple method for extracting the best substrate bias value, which not only eliminates the STI leakage but also has the least impact on the device characteristics.     

Utilizing a shallow trench isolation parasitic transistor to characterize the total ionizing dose effect of partially-depleted silicon-on-insulator input/output n-MOSFETs

We investigate the effects of 60 Co γ-ray irradiation on the 130 nm partially-depleted silicon-on-isolator(PDSOI)input/output(I/O) n-MOSFETs. A shallow trench isolation(STI) parasitic transistor is responsible for the observed hump in the back-gate transfer characteristic curve. The STI parasitic transistor, in which the trench oxide acts as the gate oxide,is sensitive to the radiation, and it introduces a new way to characterize the total ionizing dose(TID) responses in the STI oxide. A radiation enhanced drain induced barrier lower(DIBL) effect is observed in the STI parasitic transistor. It is manifested as the drain bias dependence of the radiation-induced off-state leakage and the increase of the DIBL parameter in the STI parasitic transistor after irradiation. Increasing the doping concentration in the whole body region or just near the STI sidewall can increase the threshold voltage of the STI parasitic transistor, and further reduce the radiation-induced off-state leakage. Moreover, we find that the radiation-induced trapped charge in the buried oxide leads to an obvious front-gate threshold voltage shift through the coupling effect. The high doping concentration in the body can effectively suppress the radiation-induced coupling effect.     

Direct measurement and analysis of total ionizing dose effect on 130 nm PD SOI SRAM cell static noise margin

In this work, the total ionizing dose(TID) effect on 130 nm partially depleted(PD) silicon-on-insulator(SOI) static random access memory(SRAM) cell stability is measured. The SRAM cell test structure allowing direct measurement of the static noise margin(SNM) is specifically designed and irradiated by gamma-ray. Both data sides' SNM of 130 nm PD SOI SRAM cell are decreased by TID, which is different from the conclusion obtained in old generation devices that one data side's SNM is decreased and the other data side's SNM is increased. Moreover, measurement of SNM under different supply voltages(Vdd) reveals that SNM is more sensitive to TID under lower Vdd. The impact of TID on SNM under data retention Vddshould be tested, because Vddof SRAM cell under data retention mode is lower than normal Vdd.The mechanism under the above results is analyzed by measurement of I–V characteristics of SRAM cell transistors.
