Abstract
The standard deviation of threshold voltage, σVTH, which is estimated with Pair Transistor cell Array (PTA), is examined using the test chip fabricated by 65-nm technology. It is found that the errors are caused by two problems: 1) the problem in the approximation and 2) leak current in the isolation region. Taking them into account, the application of PTA to the test structure in scribe line is studied.
