With the increasing of the operating frequencies, insertion loss, signal propagation delay, and parasitic coupling capacitance become the significant problems. Small capacitance (C) between interconnects is required to reduce the crosstalk, insertion loss, and RC delay associated with the metal interconnect system. Therefore, the interconnect with low dielectric constant (k) material is required. Implementation of Cu/low-k dielectric is used for reducing insertion loss, RC delay, crosstalk noises, etc. In this work, Cu-hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) systems are studied. Ammonia (NH3) plasma is employed for the nitridation of HSQ. The effects of NH3 plasma treatments on the high frequency characteristics (100 MHz to 20 GHz) of the interconnect structure Cu/Ta/HSQ and electrical behaviors of Cu/Ta/HSQ/Pt MIM capacitors are evaluated.Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) results suggest the diffusion of oxygen and copper atoms during copper annealing. This raises resistance of Cu interconnect and increases the conductance of the HSQ films. Hence, 400 °C-annealed Cu/Ta/HSQ interconnect systems become lossy at high frequencies (>2 GHz). Ammonia (NH3) plasma bombardments break some of the Si-H bonds and the resulting dangling Si bonds increase the moisture absorption. Meanwhile, NH3 plasma treatments reduce the leakage current by passivating the Si dangling bond and forming silicon nitride. The absorption of moisture and/or the formation of SiNx result in high dielectric constant of HSQ after prolonged NH3 plasma bombardment. The dielectric constant of HSQ decreases and then increases with the increase of NH3 plasma treatment time and a minimum dielectric constant of 2.2 is obtained after 50 s NH3 plasma treatment at 200 W. Among various specimens in this study, the smallest insertion loss is 1.97 dB/mm at 20 GHz for the 400°C-annealed Cu/Ta/HSQ (NH3-plasma-treated for 50 s). Appropriate NH3-plasma bombardment helps to form a thin SiNx barrier layer which prevents the diffusion of oxygen without increasing the dielectric constant of the Cu-HSQ interconnect system. The leakage currents versus electric field characteristics suggest that a Schottky emission dominate conduction mechanism. 相似文献

Thin (200
) layers of SiO2 were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition onto GaN and InGaP patterned with transmission line measurement contact pads. The sheet resistance of n-GaN and n- and p-InGaP was measured as a function of N2O/SiH4 ratio, rf chuck power, pressure and substrate temperature during the SiO2 deposition. The sheet resistance ratio before and after the deposition varied from 0.7 to 1.2, reflecting a competition between mechanisms that decrease doping (hydrogen passivation, ion-induced deep traps) and those that increase it (creation of shallow donor states in n-type material through preferential ion of the group V elements, gettering of hydrogen in p-type material). Under most conditions, SiO2 deposition creates minimal changes to the electrical properties of GaN and InGaP. 相似文献

A simple technique leading to the measurement of minority carrier lifetimes of UHV compatible LPCVD Si and SiGe by C–t depth profiling of Metal:Oxide:Si:SiGe:Si structures is reported. A high quality gate oxide is realised by low temperature (<100°C) plasma anodisation thereby reducing any oxidation effects on the underlying epitaxial layer quality. Capacitance response times were observed for an impurity concentration of 2.5×1017 cm−3, giving rise to generation lifetimes of the Si and Si0.9Ge0.1 of >0.55 and 2.6 μs respectively, reflective of very high quality epitaxial semiconductor material. 相似文献

Reactive ion etch processes for modern interlevel dielectrics become more and more complex, especially for further scaling of interconnect dimensions. The materials will be damaged within such processes with the result of an increase in their dielectric constants. The capability of selected additives to minimize the low-k sidewall damage during reactive ion etching (RIE) of SiCOH materials in fluorocarbon plasmas was shown in different works in the past. Most of the investigated additive gases alter the fluorine to carbon ratio as well as the dissociation of the parent gas inside the etch plasma. The result is a changed etch rate, a modified polymerization behavior and other characteristics of the process induced SiCOH damage. Heavy inert ions like argon will be accelerated to the sample surface in the cathode dark space and enhance therewith the sputter yield on the SiCOH network [1]. In this paper the additives Ar, O2, C4F8, H2, N2 and CO were added to a conventional CF4 etch plasma. We try to provoke different changes in the plasma conditions and therewith in the process results. Contact angle measurements, spectroscopic ellipsometry, Hg-probe analysis, FTIR measurements and SEM cross-sections were used to overview the additive induced modifications. To understand the influences of the additives gases more exactly, changes in the physical and chemical plasma behavior must be analyzed. Therefore quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) and quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy (QCLAS) were used. 相似文献

In addition to attenuation, depolarization due to rain is another factor that degrades satellite propagation signals, especially in the higher frequency bands and in places that have high rates of rainfall. A formula to predict cross‐polarization as a function of attenuation has been proposed, and it is derived by a theoretical calculation using frequency, the forward scattering amplitude of raindrops, rainfall rates, the raindrop size distribution (DSD), and various other propagation parameters. In this paper, a formula for predicting cross‐polarization is derived on the basis of the assumption of a gamma‐type DSD up to 100 GHz. These results are compared with conventional exponential‐type DSDs, such as the Marshall‐and‐Palmer DSD. Moreover, for a more realistic propagation situation, we consider the effect on the aforementioned relationship of rainfall rate inhomogeneity along the propagation path. It is shown that, for practical purposes, this inhomogeneity does not have a significant effect on satellite propagation. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Carbon-doped silicon oxide (SiCOH) dielectrics are one of the most suitable candidates for advanced low-dielectric-constant (low-k) interlayer material. To improve water adsorption resistance, the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited SiCOH films have been post-treated by the NH3 plasma for various times, and the resulting SiCOH films are thus examined by water adsorption experiments. The results indicate that the SiCOH films treated by the NH3 plasma exhibit enhanced resistance against water adsorption. Further, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to characterize the chemical composition and bonding states of the pristine and NH3 plasma treated SiCOH films. It is revealed that the plasma surface treatment leads to the formation of Si-N, C(sp3)-N, C(sp2)N, (N-)nSi-C (n = 1-3) configurations, and loss of carbon atoms. 相似文献

Low-density drain high-electron mobility transistors (LDD-HEMTs) with different F- plasma treatment were investigated by simulations and experiments. The LDD region was performed by introducing negatively charged fluorine ions, which modified the surface field distribution on the drain side of the HEMT, and the enhancement of breakdown voltage were achieved. With the increased fluorine plasma treatment power and LDD region length, the breakdown voltage can be maximumly improved by 70%, and no severe reductions on output current and transconductance were observed. To confirm the temperature stability of the devices, annealing experiments were carried out at 400℃ for 2 min in ambient N2. Moreover, the gate leakage current and breakdown voltage before and after annealing were compared and analyzed, respectively. 相似文献

Low field leakage currents, through thin gate oxides of metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors, increase after negative high field stress. We have observed that this increase could be reduced and even suppressed if the trapped holes created by the stress were neutralized by application of low voltage pulses. We have also observed that these pulses had the effect of making the recharge of the stress created slow states more and more difficult. 相似文献

Simulations of the reverse current-voltage characteristics of an Al/l-3 nm SiO2/n-Si tunnel structure are carried out, considering the spatial non-uniformity of oxide thickness. In a certain range of average thickness, these characteristics are S-shaped, exhibiting thereby a bistability. The shift of the turn-on and holding voltages related to the thickness deviation is predicted. The electric overload leads to the displacement of switching voltages as if the deviation of oxide thickness had became larger. Supporting experimental data are also provided. 相似文献

The trap amount depending on trap energy levels [Nt(Et)] in various silicon oxynitride films were investigated. Using the thermally stimulated current and the maximum entropy method, we determined Nt(Et) with very high energy resolution. In Nt(Et), many Et were observed between 1.2 and 1.6 eV. Interestingly, their amounts significantly depended on the film compositions. The influence of oxygen on Nt(Et) is also discussed. 相似文献

Based on the measured capacitance–voltage(C–V) curves and current–voltage(I–V) curves for the prepared differently-sized Al N/Ga N heterostructure field-effect transistors(HFETs), the I–V characteristics of the Al N/Ga N HFETs were simulated using the quasi-two-dimensional(quasi-2D) model. By analyzing the variation in the electron mobility for the two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG) with the channel electric field, it is found that the different polarization charge distribution generated by the different channel electric field distribution can result in different polarization Coulomb field(PCF) scattering. The 2DEG electron mobility difference is mostly caused by the PCF scattering which can reach up to 899.6 cm2/(V s)(sample a), 1307.4 cm2/(V s)(sample b),1561.7 cm2/(V s)(sample c) and 678.1 cm2/(V s)(sample d), respectively. When the 2DEG sheet density is modulated by the drain–source bias, the electron mobility for samples a, b and c appear to peak with the variation of the 2DEG sheet density, but for sample d, no peak appears and the electron mobility rises with the increase in the2 DEG sheet density. 相似文献

To determine the dielectric constant (ε′), dielectric loss (ε″), loss tangent (tan δ), the ac electrical conductivity (σac) and the electric modulus of Au/SiO2/n-Si structure, the measurement admittance technique was used. Experimental results show that the values of ε′, ε″, tan δ, σac and the electric modulus show fairly large frequency and gate bias dispersion especially at low frequencies due to the interface charges and polarization. An increase in the values of the ε′ and ε″ were observed with both a decrease in frequency and an increase in frequency. The σac is found to increase with both increasing frequency and voltage. In addition, the experimental dielectrical data have been analyzed considering electric modulus formalism. It can be concluded that the interface charges and interfacial polarization have strong influence on the dielectric properties of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures especially at low frequencies and both in depletion and accumulation regions. 相似文献

Time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) and stress-induced leakage current (SILC) are investigated for the reliability of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) thin films. Both time to breakdown (TBD) versus electric field (E) and TBD versus 1/E plots show universal straight lines, independent of the film thickness, and predict lifetimes longer than 10 y at +1 V for 50 nm BST films with an SiO2 equivalent thickness of 0.70 nm. SILC is observed at +1 V after electrical stress of BST films; nevertheless, 10 y reliable operation for Gbit-scale DRAMs is predicted in spite of charge loss by SILC. Lower (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio is found to be strongly beneficial for low leakage, low SILC, long TBD, and therefore greater long-term reliability. This suggests a worthwhile tradeoff against the dielectric constant, which peaks at a (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio of 1.05 相似文献
