The reliability of advanced integrated circuit (IC) technologies may be dominated by the interaction of environmental radiation with the devices in the ICs. In particular, single event upsets (SEUs) and soft errors produced by single energetic particles may have a significant impact on the error rate of digital ICs. Additionally, some of the mechanisms responsible for long-term degradation of ICs under normal operating conditions are related to degradation mechanisms produced by ionizing radiation. This paper reviews issues related to prediction of error rates in ICs and discusses the roles of hydrogen in bias-temperature instability and total-ionizingdose radiation sensitivity.

The supply current of plastic encapsulated microelectronic devices in the presence of a high potential source can increase abnormally due to parasitic gate leakage. According to reliability qualification standards, stress during a parasitic gate leakage test is applied by a corona discharge at a thin tungsten needle placed a few centimeters above the devices under test. The gate leakage sensitivity factor obtained from this test lacks any physical basis and is therefore not believed to be useful. Here we show that this sensitivity factor can be replaced by a physical model for charge transport through the encapsulation material. The model is used to explain why devices encapsulated by a molding compound with a low volume resistivity of 6 times 1011 Ohm-cm, at high temperature, 150degC, are more prone to fail the test on an increased current, compared to devices encapsulated by a compound having a high resistivity of 4 times 1013 Ohmtimescm at the same temperature. Furthermore, we discuss an alternative test setup where the potential difference between two parallel electrodes sandwiching the devices is used as the source of stress. It is suggested in literature that this setup yields identical results as the current setup. However, using both setups on the same product did not result in an equal outcome, which indicates that both tests do not trigger the same failure mechanism to the same extent.

Mobility degradation due to generation of interface traps (Deltamueff(NIT)) is a well-known phenomenon that has been theoretically interpreted by several mobility models. Based on these analysis, there is a general perception that Deltamueff(NIT) is relatively insignificant (compared to Deltamueff due to ionized impurity) and as such can be safely ignored for performance and reliability analysis. Here, we investigate the importance of considering Deltamueff(NIT) for reliability analysis by analyzing a wide variety of plasma oxynitride PMOS devices using both parametric and physical mobility models. We find that contrary to popular belief this correction is fundamentally important for robust and uncorrupted estimates of the key reliability parameters like threshold-voltage shift, lifetime projection, voltage acceleration factor, etc. Therefore, in this paper, we develop a generalized algorithm for estimating Deltamueff(NIT) for plasma oxynitride PMOS devices and systematically explore its implications for NBTI-specific reliability analysis.

This paper describes an analysis of the reliability of GaN-based laser diodes, submitted to constant current, constant optical power and high temperature stress. We demonstrate that constant current and constant optical power stress induce the increase of the threshold current of the devices, that varies according to the square-root of time. The threshold current increase is found to be strongly correlated to the decrease of the sub-threshold emission of the devices, thus suggesting that stress determines the increase of the non-radiative recombination paths in the active layer. Degradation rate is found to depend on stress temperature and on current level, while it does not significantly depend on the optical field in the cavity. The evidences presented within this work support previous literature results, that attribute devices degradation to the diffusion of impurity species towards the active layer, with subsequent increase of the non-radiative recombination rate. The identified degradation process is shown to be electro-thermally activated.

In this work, voltage ramp dielectric breakdown (VRDB), time dependent dielectric breakdown, (TDDB) and bias temperature instability (BTI) were conducted to evaluate the impacts of process induced interfacial defects on GOI. It is found that process induced defects near the gate oxide edges by poor adhesion of photo resist resulted in severe effective thinning; and defects near oxide interfaces by various process steps led to the degradation of voltage acceleration factor (VAF), which is likely related to nitrogen enhanced anode hydrogen release (AHR).

A novel protection device providing ultra-low line capacitance and improved ESD (J. E. Vinson et al., 2003) and surge capability is presented. Applications include stand-alone protection arrays and integrated protection in baseband- or RF-filters. A proprietary epitaxial layer and isolation capability enable high levels of surge power handling capability, while keeping line capacitance low and reducing device footprint. The response of the device to ESD and surge stresses is investigated at wafer- and package-level. Process condition variations and derived structures are studied, along with a consideration of issues related to the measurement of capacitance, ESD and surge capability.

The impact of a random telegraph noise (RTN) on a scaled-down SRAM is shown for the first time. To estimate the impact on SRAM, we statistically analyzed a threshold voltage fluctuation (DeltaVth) of n-and p-MOSFETs. It is revealed that DeltaVth of the p-MOSFET is larger than that of the n-MOSFET. This difference can be explained by considering the followings: (i) number- and mobility-fluctuation models of RTN (ii) the difference in the capture cross section between electron and hole. In addition, based on these results, SRAM margin enclosed by read / write Vth curves with or without RTN was simulated. We consequently found that Vth margin comes close to Vth window of the SRAM by considering the effect of RTN on DeltaVth, even at hp 65. Moreover, DeltaVth due to RTN of the p-MOSFET is comparable with DeltaVth due to the random dopant fluctuation (RDF) at hp 45 because DeltaVth due to the RDF is inversely proportional to square root of the gate area (S), while DeltaVth due to RTN is inversely proportional to S.

We demonstrate that hydrogen (H) atom penetration into the bottom oxide (BTO) of ONO stacks degrades the retention reliability of MONOS memory. We observe that post-nitride (SiN) N2-annealing improves the retention through a suppression of the H atom diffusion in ONO stacks. Nuclear reaction analysis revealed the presence of an ultra thin H-storage layer in the top oxide/SiN interface, which can effectively shield the BTO from H diffusion, and in turn provides H species resistant against energetic electron damage.

The high-Vt state data retention of 2bit/cell SONOS using hot-hole erasing method is studied extensively using a 0.13 mum virtual-ground array NOR-type test chip. We design various trap-layer engineering using multi-layer stacks of SiN and SiON in order to change the intra-nitride conduction. However, our results show that the post-cycled retention is insensitive to the trap-layer engineering. Next, we apply the electrical refill method to test the retention, and find that retention can be improved. Hence our results supports the trap assisted charge loss mechanism. Finally, using a novel bit-by-bit tracking technique, we find that the retention behavior of an individual bit has a random but wide distribution, and some tail bits even show abnormal charge gain. This suggests that both electron and hole de-trapping happen during retention.

The results of this study showed that when excess hydrogen is introduced to gated bipolar devices in the radiation environment, the buildup of radiation-induced defects in device oxides and their annealing behaviors are dramatically changed due to hydrogen. The different annealing behaviors of oxide charge between hydrogen-rich and -depleted devices suggest that the defects contributing to the enhanced oxide charge may be microscopically different from the conventional trapped charge described in literature.
