SOI抗总剂量辐射加固工艺栅氧可靠性研究

文章对采用了埋层二氧化硅抗总剂量加固工艺技术的SOI器件栅氧可靠性进行研究,比较了干法氧化和湿法氧化工艺的栅氧击穿电荷,干法氧化的栅氧质量劣于湿法氧化。采用更敏感的12.5nm干法氧化栅氧工艺条件,对比采用抗总剂量辐射加固工艺前后的栅氧可靠性。抗总剂量辐射加固工艺降低了栅氧的击穿电压和击穿时间。最后通过恒压法表征加固工艺的栅氧介质随时间击穿(TDDB)的可靠性,结果显示抗总剂量辐射加固工艺的12.5nm栅氧在常温5.5V工作电压下TDDB寿命远大于10年,满足SOI抗总剂量辐射加固工艺对栅氧可靠性的需求。     

总剂量加固对SOINMOS器件抗辐射特性的影响

采用埋层改性工艺对部分耗尽SOI NMOS器件进行总剂量加固,通过测试器件在辐射前后的电学性能研究加固对SOI NMOS器件抗辐射特性的影响。加固在埋氧层中引入电子陷阱,辐射前在正负背栅压扫描时,电子陷阱可以释放和俘获电子,导致背栅阈值电压产生漂移,漂移大小与引入电子陷阱的量有关。通过加固可以有效提高器件的抗总剂量辐射特性,电子陷阱的量对器件的抗辐射性能具有显著影响。

超高总剂量辐射下SOI MOS器件特性研究

在超高总剂量辐射下,界面电荷的改变对MOS器件的阈值电压影响将越来越显著,甚至会引起NMOS的阈值电压增加,即所谓的“反弹”现象。文章研究的SOI NMOS的阈值电压并没有出现文献中所述的“反弹”,原因可能和具体的工艺有关。另外,通过工艺器件仿真和辐射试验验证,SOI器件在超高总剂量辐射后的漏电不仅仅来自于闽值电压漂移所导致的背栅甚至前栅的漏电流,而是主要来自于前栅的界面态的影响。这样,单纯的对埋层SiO2进行加固来减少总剂量辐射后埋层SiO2中的陷阱正电荷,并不能有效提高SOI MOS器件的抗超高总剂量辐射性能。     

先进工艺对MOS器件总剂量辐射效应的影响

γ射线辐照对130 nm部分耗尽SOI MOS器件栅氧经时击穿可靠性的影响

研究了射线辐照对130 nm部分耗尽（Partially Depleted,PD）绝缘体上硅（Silicon on Insulator,SOI）工艺MOS器件栅氧经时击穿（Time-Dependent Dielectric Breakdown,TDDB）寿命的影响。通过测试和对比辐照前后NMOS和PMOS器件的转移特性曲线、阈值电压、关态泄漏电流以及TDDB时间等电参数,分析了射线辐照对PD-SOI MOS器件TDDB可靠性的影响。结果表明:由于射线辐照在栅极氧化层中产生了带正电的氧化物陷阱电荷,影响了器件内部势垒的分布,降低了电子跃迁的势垒高度,导致了电子遂穿的正反馈作用增强,从而缩短了器件栅氧化层经时击穿时间,最终造成器件栅极氧化层的可靠性下降。

Impact of SOI thickness on device performance and gate oxide reliability of Ni fully silicide metal-gate strained SOI MOSFET

This study investigates the effects of oxide traps induced by SOI of various thicknesses (T_SOI = 50, 70 and 90 nm) on the device performance and gate oxide TDDB reliability of Ni fully silicide metal-gate strained SOI MOSFETs capped with different stressed SiN contact-etch-stop-layer (CESL). The effects of different stress CESLs on the gate leakage currents of the SOI MOSFET devices are also investigated. For devices with high stress (either tensile or compressive) CESL, thinner T_SOI devices have a smaller net remaining stress in gate oxide film than thicker T_SOI devices, and thus possess a smaller bulk oxide trap (N_BOT) and reveal a superior gate oxide reliability. On the other hand, the thicker T_SOI devices show a superior driving capability, but it reveals an inferior gate oxide reliability as well as a larger gate leakage current. From low frequency noise (LFN) analysis, we found that thicker T_SOI device has a higher bulk oxide trap (N_BOT) density, which is induced by larger strain in the gate oxide film and is mainly responsible for the inferior gate oxide reliability. Presumably, the gate oxide film is bended up and down for the p- and nMOSFETs, respectively, by the net stress in thicker T_SOI devices in this CESL strain technology. In addition, the bending extent of gate oxide film of nMOSFETs is larger than that of pMOSFETs due to the larger net stress in gate oxide film resulting from additional compressive stress of shallow trench isolation (STI) pressed on SOI. Therefore, an appropriate SOI thickness design is the key factor to achieve superior device performance and reliability.

Reliable tantalum-gate fully-depleted-SOI MOSFET technologyfeaturing low-temperature processing

A reliable tantalum (Ta)-gate device technology, which can drastically reduce the number of process steps, has been developed. Ta-gate fully-depleted-silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) MOSFETs with 0.15-μm gate length by low-temperature processing below 500°C after the gate oxide formation have good on/off characteristics. Comprehensive design guidelines for Ta-gate MOSFETs in the deep-submicrometer regime is provided by investigating a wide range of performance and reliability constraints on the process temperature and the SOI thickness. In the guideline, the recrystallization of the source/drain region gives inferior limits of the SOI thickness and the process temperature. Thermal reaction between Ta and SiO₂ films sets a superior limit of the process temperature, and a short-channel effect sets a superior limit of the SOI thickness     

The Impact of Oxide Traps Induced by SOI Thickness on Reliability of Fully Silicide Metal-Gate Strained SOI MOSFET

In this letter, we investigate the effects of oxide traps induced by various silicon-on-insulator (SOI) thicknesses $({T}_{rm SOI})$ on the performance and reliability of a strained SOI MOSFET with SiN-capped contact etch stop layer (CESL). Compared to the thicker ${T}_{rm SOI}$ device, the thinner ${T}_{rm SOI}$ device with high-strain CESL possesses a higher interface trap $({N}_{rm it})$ density, leading to degradation in the device performance. On the other hand, however, the thicker ${T}_{rm SOI}$ device reveals inferior gate oxide reliability. From low-frequency noise analysis, we found that thicker ${T}_{rm SOI}$ has a higher bulk oxide trap $({N}_{rm BOT})$ density, which is induced by larger strain in the gate oxide film and is mainly responsible for the inferior TDDB reliability. Presumably, the gate oxide film is bended up and down for the p- and nMOSFETs, respectively, by the net stress in thicker ${T}_{rm SOI}$ devices in this strain technology.      

A 0.25-μm, 600-MHz, 1.5-V, fully depleted SOI CMOS 64-bitmicroprocessor

A 0.25-μm, four-layer-metal, 1.5-V, 600-MHz, fully depleted (FD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS 64-bit ALPHA1 microprocessor integrating 9.66 million transistors on a 209-mm² silicon die has been developed leveraging the existing bulk design. FD-SOI technology is used because it has better immunity for dynamic leakage current than partially depleted SOI in high speed dynamic circuits without body contact. C-V characteristics of metal-oxide-silicon-oxide-silicon with and without source-drain junctions are described to explain the behavior of FD-SOI transistor. Race, speed, and dynamic stability have been simulated to reassure the circuit operation. Key process features are shallow trench isolation, 4-nm gate oxide, 30-nm co-silicide, 46-nm silicon film, and 200-nm buried oxide. The FD-SOI microprocessor runs 30% faster than that of bulk, and it passes the reliability and system test

Back gate effects on threshold voltage sensitivity to SOI thicknessin fully-depleted SOI MOSFETs

The dependence of threshold voltage on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) thickness is studied on fully-depleted SOI MOSFETs, and, for this purpose, back-gate oxide thickness and back gate voltage are varied. When the back gate oxide is thinner than the critical thickness dependent on the back gate voltage, the threshold voltage has a minimum in cases where the SOI film thickness is decreased, because of capacitive coupling between the SOI layer and the back gate. This fact suggests that threshold voltage fluctuations due to SOI thickness variations are reduced by controlling the back gate voltage and thinning the back gate oxide     

Comparison of hole mobility in LOCOS-isolated thin-film SOIp-channel MOSFET's fabricated on various SOI substrates

The hole mobility of LOCOS-isolated thin-film silicon-on-insulator (SOI) p-channel MOSFET's fabricated on SOI substrates with different buried oxide thickness has been investigated. Two types of SOI wafers are used as a substrate: (1) SIMOX wafer with 100-nm buried oxide and (2) bonded SOI wafer with 100-nm buried oxide. Thin-film SOI p-MOSFET's fabricated on SIMOX wafer have hole mobility that is about 10% higher than that on bonded SOI wafer. This is caused by the difference in the stress under which the silicon film is after gate oxidation process. This increased hole mobility leads to the improved propagation delay time by about 10%
