Using TLP tester and device simulation, we investigated the I-V characteristics of two devices and the behavior of the NPN in high current region. The NPN is suitable device for ESD protection circuits. Especially, collector to base space is an important design parameter. We achieved low holding voltage, low on-resistance and high failure current by optimizing collector to base space of the NPN. Therefore we propose the ESD protection using circuits that consists of the NPN automotive applications.

Static and dynamic circuits were fabricated in the MIT-LL 0.18-/spl mu/m FDSOI CMOS process, and exhibited a high tolerance to total dose radiation up to 1 Mrad (SiO/sub 2/). Circuits were designed using conventional design rules and layout techniques, i.e., they are not radhard-by-design. Hardening was done at the circuit fabrication level using process enhancements. These are the first circuit-level hardness results reported to date for these new enhancements.

In this paper, we propose an active body-biasing controlled (ABC)-bootstrap PTL (pass-transistor logic) on PD-SOI at 0.5 V-V/sub DD/ for ultra low power design. Applying active body-biasing to bootstrap PTL is the key for higher performance without output voltage loss by boosting gate voltage with coupling capacitance between source and body. Lowering V/sub th/ by body biasing also contributes for high speed operation. Experimental results have shown improvement in both delay time and power consumption.

This paper describes a simple process that can tune the work function of ALD TaCN gate electrode on HfO/sub 2/ from 4.47eV to 4.77eV by adding a CVD TiN overlayer. It also discusses the device characteristics of TaCN and TiN/TaCN (TaCN with a TiN overlayer) metal gate/high-k MOSFETs and presents a manufacturable process for integrating dual metal gate/high-k CMOS in a FD-FET technology.

We have successfully demonstrated a back-to-face ultra-thin silicon layer stacking based on low temperature wafer bonding and etch-back. This type of silicon layer stacking can be expanded to wafers with device and interconnect layers to fabricate three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs). Electrical connection between layers can be achieved by interlayer vertical via formed by bonded Cu layers.

We describe a low-temperature process for fabricating strained silicon on insulator (SOI) substrates using excimer laser annealing technology. We used an excimer laser to relax the SiGe layer on the SOI substrate. We can fabricate ultra-thin strained SOI by removing the relaxed SiGe layer on the SOI after laser annealing. Strains are investigated using ultraviolet (UV)-Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Smart power SOI technologies are becoming popular because of better isolation. The SOI technology introduces a new electrode, the substrate electrode referred to as back gate. Several papers have reported back gate induced leakage current. This work reports a new leakage mechanism induced by the interaction of the neighbouring device and that back gate. Moreover, possible countermeasures for a 0.8 /spl mu/m 80V SOI technology are presented.

For SRAM circuits operated at 0.5V reliable readout of the stored information is challenging due to a voltage swing of tens of mV. Two readout topologies described in this paper for ultra-low-voltage (ULV) SOI-CMOS SRAMs exploit unique features of partially-depleted (PD)-SOI transistors to perform current rather than voltage sensing. The analysis presented leads to the dimensioning of the sense amplifier transistors for robust operation with a maximum number of cells per column of the SRAM. Simulations of the presented circuits demonstrate that the information stored in an SRAM with a four-transistor CMOS-SOI cell can be reliably accessed in 3ns with 180nW power consumption.

In this work we present an original method based on 3-port RF measurements to accurately extract the body resistance (R/sub be/) in body-accessed PD SOI MOSFETs. This method can be used to assess the validity of compact models such as BSIMSOI. The RF body access also enabled a precise characterization of intrinsic and extrinsic body capacitances. A complete 3-port model was then derived and further validated on DT MOSFET measurements by connecting the body to the gate terminal.

In this paper, we present an undoped thin film fully-depleted (FD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS with source/drain-to-gate non-overlapped structure for ultra low leak (ULL) transistor. The fabricated device achieved a cutoff frequency f/sub T/ of 65GHz with I/sub off/< 0.1pA//spl mu/m (GIDL-free). The proposed inverted-gate implantation/planar-type SOI is practical and low-cost solution for coin-battery applications.
