Ultra-high temperature (>300 °C) suspended thermodiode in SOI CMOS technology

This paper reports for the first time on the performance and long-term stability of a silicon on insulator (SOI) thermodiode with tungsten metallization, suspended on a dielectric membrane, at temperatures beyond 300 °C. The thermodiode has been designed and fabricated with minute saturation currents (due to both small size and the use of SOI technology) to allow an ultra-high temperature range and minimal non-linearity. It was found that the thermodiode forward voltage drop versus temperature plot remains linear up to 500 °C, with a non-linearity error of less than 7%. Extensive experimental results on performance of the thermodiode that was fabricated using a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) SOI process are presented. These results are backed up by infrared measurements and a range of 2-D (dimension) and 3-D simulations using ISE and ANSYS software. The on-chip drive electronics for the thermodiode and the micro-heater, as well as the sensor transducing circuit were placed adjacent to the membrane. We demonstrate that the thermodiode is considerably more reliable in long-term direct current operation at high temperatures when compared to the more classical resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) using CMOS metallization layers (tungsten or aluminum). We also compare a membrane thermodiode with a reference thermodiode placed on the silicon substrate and assess their relative performance at elevated temperatures. The experimental results from this comparison confirm that the thermodiode suffers minimal piezo-junction/piezo-resistive effects.

Modeling thermal effects in nano-devices

For the purpose of investigating the role of self-heating effects on the electrical characteristics of nano-scale devices, we implemented a two-dimensional Monte Carlo device simulator that self-consistently includes the solution of the energy balance equations for both, acoustic and optical phonons. We find less degradation in the current in smaller device structures because of the more pronounced velocity overshoot.
