This paper describes the use of electroluminescence imaging (EL), infra-red imaging (IR), and module shading screen IV techniques to characterize individual cell performance in modules to aid in failure analysis (FA) during the reliability testing of new photovoltaic (PV) module designs. When integrated with detailed modeling into a uniform approach these methods yield a superior approach to understanding failure mechanisms that arise in modules during extended stress testing or analysis from field testing. These techniques are required to quickly assess and validate new materials and new constructions in module technology. Examples are taken from new module technologies such as monolithic module assembly (MMA) for back contact cell modules as well as the use of new materials such as electrically conductive adhesives (ECA) and new encapsulants.
本文描述了使用电致发光成像(EL),红外成像(IR)和模块遮光屏IV技术来表征模块中的单个电池性能,以帮助在新光伏(PV)模块设计可靠性测试期间进行故障分析(FA)。当与详细的建模集成到统一的方法中时,这些方法产生了一种更好的方法来理解在扩展压力测试或现场测试分析中出现的模块故障机制。这些技术需要快速评估和验证模块技术中的新材料和新结构。例子取自新的模块技术,如用于后接触电池模块的单片模块组装(MMA),以及导电粘合剂(ECA)和新型密封剂等新材料的使用。

In this paper results obtained by drain current transients measurement on GaN-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are presented. It will be shown that neglecting device self-heating effects during the calculation process can lead to an underestimation of said energies and to non-overlapping Arrhenius plots, when the emission time constants are extracted at different device dissipated power levels. Thanks to the estimation of the mean channel thermal resistance, thermal effects were taken into account by correcting the measured data. Higher activation energy values have then been extracted and a reasonable overlap of the Arrhenius plots was obtained amongst measurements carried out at different dissipated powers. The experimental results are also suggesting a novel method for the extraction of device thermal resistance, which yielded similar results with respect to other experimental techniques.
本文介绍了氮化镓基高电子迁移率晶体管漏极电流瞬态测量的结果。当在不同器件耗散功率水平下提取发射时间常数时,将表明在计算过程中忽略器件自热效应可能导致所述能量的低估和不重叠的Arrhenius图。通过对通道平均热阻的估计,对实测数据进行校正,考虑了热效应。然后提取了较高的活化能值,并在不同耗散功率下进行的测量中获得了合理的阿伦尼乌斯图重叠。实验结果还提出了一种提取器件热阻的新方法,该方法与其他实验技术的结果相似。

The characterization of RF MEMS capacitive switch is presented to understand dielectric charging, failure mode, and hold-down lifetime. The characterization included the understanding of beam stiction failure with respect to the voltage at minimum capacitance, VCmin, from low voltage bipolar capacitance-voltage sweep, and the acceleration effect of temperature described by Arrhenius model. The simplified 3 points VCmin method is suggested for dielectric charging detection with low cost and short test time for defective part screening and application in automated test equipment. The hold-down lifetime improved with taller standoff bumps by increasing release voltage and minimizing dielectric charging on the actuator electrode.

This paper proposes a sensing stability estimation method that involves using an additional forcing electrode to simulate the surface charge coupling effect for bottom gate nanowire sensors. The alteration of the Si nanowire can be observed by using the charging electrode without any complex surface treatment and micro-channel setup. The nanowire sensor has a distinct charge-sensitive slope (Vth shift > 60 mV/10-16C) with a wire-width scaling of 35 nm. The proposed estimation technique simplifies the charge sensing operation.

Gate oxide breakdown is an important reliability issue. This mechanism is widely investigated at device level but the development of a compact model and the assessment at circuit level is much more complex to handle. We first characterize soft and hard breakdown. Then a transistor-level model is presented. The model is calibrated for a large range of breakdown severity. Finally the model is used at circuit level.

With complex process integration approaches and severe fabrication limitations caused by the introduction of new materials and diminishing process margins, there are mounting concerns over possible increased failure rate [1] at the early life cycle (e.g. <;1 year operation) of product use, known as infant mortality failures. A paradigm change in reliability qualification methodology, to aim at understanding the impact of variations on reliability [2-3], is required to ensure that reliability robustness is integrated into the design of the technology to prevent problems from surfacing during product qualification and application. By applying the improved variation control though process Design-For-Reliability (DFR) and engineering optimization methodology as described in Figure 2 and Figure 3, this work aims to establish an effective and efficient method to reduce the infant mortality failure rate of the product, through understanding critical design and process factors and determining the optimal design and process conditions to ensure reliability robustness.
随着复杂的工艺集成方法和由新材料的引入和工艺边际的减少引起的严重制造限制,人们越来越担心在产品使用的早期生命周期(例如< 1年运行)可能增加的故障率[1],即婴儿死亡率失效。为了理解变化对可靠性的影响[2-3],需要对可靠性鉴定方法进行范式变更,以确保将可靠性稳健性集成到技术设计中,以防止在产品鉴定和应用过程中出现问题。本文采用图2和图3所示的改进的基于过程可靠性设计(DFR)的变异控制和工程优化方法,通过了解关键的设计和工艺因素,确定最优的设计和工艺条件,以确保可靠性的鲁棒性,建立有效和高效的方法来降低产品的婴儿死亡率故障率。

Pulsed thermoreflectance CCD imaging with submicron spatial resolution and 50 millikelvin temperature resolution is used to study fast transient heating in gallium nitride high electron mobility power transistors (GaN HEMTs) on silicon carbide substrate. Transient surface temperature distribution is measured between 50 ns and 100 μs for pulsed power to 19 W/mm. Time evolution of surface temperature for different HEMT regions is analyzed. Significant variation is observed between the thermal rise times for the gate metal, GaN channel, and drain metal. Steady state temperature rise of 68°C on the drain contact metal is reached at 100 μs at 19 W/mm. Observation of time varying thermal gradients in critical HEMT features under fast pulsed operation may help understanding of reliability and failure mechanisms in GaN power transistors.

In this paper, a new device concept, called hereafter memFET, is presented. The memFET exploits in MOSFETs the reversibility property of the dielectric breakdown (BD) in some materials, so that the potential device functionality is enlarged when compared to MIS/MIM structures. The memFET can be used to implement logic functions and memory blocks into a crossbar structure, allowing the dynamic logic configuration of the crossbar, opening paths to new adaptive computing hardware and fault-tolerant systems.

The “buffering” role of high-к in post breakdown degradation immunity of advanced dual layer dielectric gate stacks 高级双层介电栅堆叠击穿后降解抗扰度的“缓冲”作用

Post breakdown (BD) reliability is an important area of study in ultra-thin gate dielectrics as it has significant implications on the performance degradation, lifetime, reliability margin and power dissipation of advanced sub-22 nm transistors and circuits. A prolonged phase of post-BD can ensure we can live with the circuit with moderate performance and error-free operation, even if the soft breakdown (SBD) events occur early. While analysis of post-BD is simple and straightforward for single layer SiO2/SiON stacks, the number of possible scenarios of post-BD increases when analyzing high-κ-interfacial layer (HK-IL) based technology. This is because the sequence of BD (whether HK or IL fails first followed by the other one) and the competition between multiple SBD in one of these layers, dilative wear-out of a single SBD spot and the possibility of a successive localized BD above/below the HK/IL BD percolation spot (with or without metal filamentation) are all possible phenomena that can be classified as post-BD. The likelihood of occurrence of these various possibilities will determine the immunity of the stack to post-BD degradation. We will investigate each of these scenarios in detail in this work in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of post-BD reliability of state-of-the-art technology. Our analysis on a HK:IL = 25:12Å stack supported by electrical, physical and modeling results provides clear evidence that circuit failure at operating conditions can only be due to multiple SBD events within the IL layer and that the HK is very robust and resilient to breakdown.
击穿后可靠性是超薄栅极电介质的一个重要研究领域,因为它对先进的亚22纳米晶体管和电路的性能退化、寿命、可靠性余量和功耗有着重要的影响。延长后故障阶段可以确保我们可以使用性能适中且无错误操作的电路,即使软故障(SBD)事件早期发生。虽然对单层SiO2/SiON叠层的后bd分析简单直接,但当分析基于高κ-界面层(HK-IL)的技术时,后bd的可能场景数量增加。这是因为BD的顺序(无论是HK还是IL先失效,然后是另一个)以及其中一个层中多个SBD之间的竞争,单个SBD点的膨胀磨损以及HK/IL BD渗透点上方/下方连续局部BD的可能性(有或没有金属细丝)都可以被归类为后BD。这些不同可能性发生的可能性将决定堆栈对bd后退化的免疫力。我们将在这项工作中详细研究每一种情况,以便对最先进技术的后bd可靠性进行全面评估。我们对HK:IL = 25:12Å堆栈的分析得到了电气、物理和建模结果的支持,提供了明确的证据,表明在工作条件下电路故障只能是由于IL层内的多个SBD事件造成的,并且HK非常坚固,对故障具有弹性。

A prolonged phase of post-BD can ensure we can live with the circuit with moderate performance and error-free operation, even if the soft breakdown (SBD) events occur early. While analysis of post-BD is simple and straightforward for single layer SiO2/SiON stacks, the number of possible scenarios of post-BD increases when analyzing high-κ-interfacial layer (HK-IL) based technology. This is because the sequence of BD (whether HK or IL fails first followed by the other one) and the competition between multiple SBD in one of these layers, dilative wear-out of a single SBD spot and the possibility of a successive localized BD above/below the HK/IL BD percolation spot (with or without metal filamentation) are all possible phenomena that can be classified as post-BD. The likelihood of occurrence of these various possibilities will determine the immunity of the stack to post-BD degradation. We will investigate each of these scenarios in detail in this work in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of post-BD reliability of state-of-the-art technology.
