Introduction In order to achieve <400mm2 chip size for lGDRAM production, 0.3um pitch fine patterning must be needed. Lithographic printability will be one of serious problems in this generation. In COB type DRAM cell, active area pattem is a kind of problem for both of bitline (BL) and storage node (SN) connections. Simple mask pattem is first key to get a large exposure defocus window. Cell size is represented as a proportion to minimum feature size (F) square. Several studies about 13F2 cell size have been reported for 0.4um pitch devices [ 1,2,3]. Based on historical trends, -8F2 technology will be needed in 0.3um pitch generation. SN contact self-aligned to BL is also second key to realize 8F2 cell. It has been pointed out that wafer planarity throughout the process is third key to achieve a large process window [4]. Especially, this issue is more severe in COB cell. In this paper, relaxed 0.44um pitch memory cell array is demonstrated and three key technologies are adopted such as self-aligned poly plug technology using printable mask pattem, cross point contact technology for SN contact selfaligned to BL, and plariarized concave capacitor technology. Self-aligned Poly Plug Figures 1 and 2 show schematic top view and cross sections to explain self-aligned poly plug technology, respectively. Following simple pattemed active area formation using nomial STI process, straight gate was pattemed, which was (composed of WSi polycide with SiN hard mask. Barrier Sip? and reflowed BPSG interlayer were deposited. BPSG was planarized using CMP stopped by barrier SiN (Fig.2a). SAC was opened by BPSG etching selectively to SIN using Gate SAC mask shown in Fig.1. Gate SAC pattem is t h e same as active area and is shifted by a half pitch to gate direction. Cross sectional SEM photograph after SAC opening is shown in Fig.3. Phosphorous-doped polysilicon was deposited and planarized down to Gate SiN by CMP (Fig.2b), resulting in dense poly plugs self-aligned to gate. Poly plug top view SEM photograph is shown in Fig. 4. Cross Point Contact BL and SN contact formation are explained with Fig.5. After interlayer deposition, straight BL was pattemed and spacer SIN was formed on side walls. BL wiring was fabricated using damaxene tungsten (FigSa). Then, tungsten was etched back and capped with SIN hard mask (FigSb). SiN capping was performed by SiN CMP etching selectively to SiOz. Interlayer was etched selectively to cap SiN using straight SN contact mask perpendicular to BL. Therefore, SN contact was opened at cross point of two levels. Cross point contact with cross sectional SEM photograph is shown in Fig.6. After contact SiN liners were formed as contact inner walls (Fig.%), phosphorous-doped polysilicon was deposited and planarized down to cap SiN by CMP (FigSd).

A 0.6 p pitch highly reliable multilevel interconnection technology using low-k Hydrogen Silicate Based Inorganic Spinon Glass (HSI-!SOG) is demonstrated for 0.15 p CMOS devices. A stable HSI-SOG interlayer dielectric (ILD) with low leakage current is realized in the metallization process with above 400 “c. The reliability of wiring and MOSFET is superior to that of the conventional high-density plasma CVD Si02 (HDP S i 0 4 ILD. A new via formation process using an NH3 plasma treatment achieves low via resistance of 4 Cl at 0.28 pm in diameter. In addition, the device performance is also improved by the 25 % reduction in wiring capacitance. Introduction Low-k ILD is indispensable to high performance W I such as high-end process,ors and “System on a chip”, because it can reduce not only the wiring delay but also power dissipation [l]. Though organic polymers [2] have very low dielectric constants (~=2.0-2.5), they have some problems such as the thermal instability or the difficulty of via formation. HSI-SOG is very attractive because of its low dielectric constant and high thermal stability which t a maintain compatibility with conventional metallization process. There are several reports that have investigated the performance of inorganic SOG in 0.35 pm technology[3, 41. However, the integration issues such as via resistance, wiring reliability and transistor reliability have not been evaluated falr sub-quarter-micron CMOS. In this paper, integration of HSI-SOG into total CMOS process in 0.15 p generation is examined. An NH3 plasma treatment technology is proposed to avoid poisoned vias. The reliability of wining and hot-carrier immunity of MOSFET, as well as the device performance, are also evaluated. Experimental A 0.6 pm pitclh multilevel metallization using HSI-SOG was constructed on 0.15 pm CMOS. In ILD process, plasma-TEOS Si02 was deposited on HSI-SOG, followed by planarization using CMP. The via formation process is shown in Fig. 1. After resist stripping, ithe NH3 plasma treatment was performed to passivate the sidewalls of the vias. The maximum process temperature was 420 “c at the W CVD step. Evaluated feature sizes are from 0.3/0.3 to 0.5/0.5 pm for wiring line/space and from 0.28 to 0.5 pm for vias. Results and Discussion An SEM cross-sectional view of the multilevel metallization is shown in Fig. 2. A good gap-filling capability is observed in spaces down to 0.3 pm. No crack is observed after the metallization process. Measured adjacent wiring capacitance is shown in Fig. :3. Wiring capacitance is reduced by 25 % compared with the HDP Si02. The estimated dielectric constant of HSI-SOG is 3.0. Simulated Tpd for 0.15 pm CMOS 2NAND with wiring is shown in Fig. 4. The HSI-SOG ILD achieves 18 % reduction in Tpd for the typical global wiring length of 10 mm, compared with the HDP-Si02 LLD. The leakage current between the adjacent metals is shown in Fig. 5. The leakage current is stable and comparable to HDPSi02 ILD even at 0.3 pm wiring s
采用低k硅酸氢基无机自旋玻璃(HSI-!SOG),在0.15 p CMOS器件上实现了0.6 p节距高可靠的多级互连技术。在400℃以上的金属化过程中,实现了一种稳定的低漏电流的si - sog层间介电体。布线和MOSFET的可靠性优于传统高密度等离子体CVD Si02 (HDP s4ild)。采用NH3等离子体处理的新型通孔形成工艺在直径0.28 pm处实现了4 Cl的低通孔电阻。此外,器件性能也因布线电容减少25%而得到改善。Low-k ILD对于高端工艺、ors和“片上系统”等高性能W I是必不可少的,因为它不仅可以降低布线延迟,还可以降低功耗[1]。虽然有机聚合物[2]具有很低的介电常数(~=2.0-2.5),但存在热不稳定性或通孔形成困难等问题。高介电常数和高热稳定性与传统的金属化工艺保持着良好的兼容性,是一种非常有吸引力的材料。有几篇报道研究了无机SOG在0.35 pm技术中的性能[3,41]。然而,集成问题,如通阻,布线可靠性和晶体管可靠性尚未评估到亚四分之一微米CMOS。本文研究了在0.15 p代中将HSI-SOG集成到总CMOS工艺中。提出了一种NH3等离子体处理技术,以避免毒化过孔。对MOSFET的增益可靠性和热载流子抗扰度以及器件性能进行了评价。实验在0.15 pm的CMOS上构建了一个0.6 pm的高阶si - sog多层金属化。在ILD过程中,血浆teos sio2沉积在HSI-SOG上,然后用CMP平化。通孔形成过程如图1所示。抗蚀剂剥离后,进行NH3等离子体处理,钝化过孔侧壁。wcvd步骤的最高工艺温度为420℃。评估的特征尺寸为布线线/空间的0.3/0.3至0.5/0.5 pm,过孔的0.28至0.5 pm。多层金属化的SEM横截面图如图2所示。在低至0.3 pm的空间中观察到良好的间隙填充能力。金属化处理后未观察到裂纹。测量的相邻接线电容如图3所示。与HDP Si02相比,布线电容降低了25%。HSI-SOG的介电常数估计为3.0。0.15 pm CMOS 2NAND带布线的模拟Tpd如图4所示。与HDP-Si02 LLD相比,HSI-SOG LLD在典型的总布线长度为10 mm时,Tpd降低了18%。相邻金属之间的泄漏电流如图5所示。泄漏电流稳定,即使在0.3 pm的布线空间也可与HDPSi02 ILD媲美。通孔电阻与通孔尺寸的关系如图6所示。采用NH3等离子体处理可获得0.28 pm通孔的4 fl极低电阻。可以认为,HSI-SOG在抗湿剥离步骤中吸收的水分可以被后续NH3等离子体处理步骤形成的氮化侧壁所覆盖。布线应力迁移试验结果如图7所示。两种ILD结构在行为上没有区别。这一结果表明,HSISOG的内应力也可以很低。0.15 pm nMOSFET的热寿命如图8所示。采用HSI-SOG的nMOSFET寿命比采用HDP SiOz的寿命长一个数量级。这可能是由于HSI-SOG中Si-OH的量小于HDP Si02,如IT-IR光谱所示(图2)。结论使用HSI-SOG的0.6 pm间距多电平互连已被证明用于0.15 pm CMOS器件。实现了具有高可靠性和热稳定性的si - sog。除了具有优异的可靠性外,该器件的性能还通过减小布线电容而得到改善。HSI-SOG是亚四分之一微米CMOS器件中最有前途的ILD。作者要感谢H.

We have introduced a new flash array architecture called AMG a t e r n a t e Metal virtual Ground) to address the high density and low voltage (3V only) applications. A 2.lpm2 cell size is demonstrated with 0.6pm design rules. A low current programming technique has been developed to enable low voltage operation. A segmented array architecture is introduced t,o eliminat,e cycling induced program-erase disturbs. An innovative planarized array DPCC (Double Poly Contact Circuit) process is developed to reahze the AMG architecture. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the feature size h is being scaled to realize the flash memory products [I] [ 2 ] . We'have realized a new flash virtual ground architecture [3] t,o provide a scaling pa th for high density and low voltage products. The cell size (5.8h2) scaling is obtained without the aggressive metallcontact design rules of the standard NOR (10h2) or the high voltage and access speed penalty of the NAND approach (6.5h2) [4]. Alternate Metal Virlual Ground (AMG) EPROM array concept [5] has been demonstrated in production as . a viable scaling concept with a poly pitch limited cell size (4x2) and one metal line for two diffusion bitlines. The AMG flash architecture is a scalable concept where the AMG cell can be scaled to 0.7pm2 with 0.35pm design rules. The array is a segmented virtual ground array with dedicated buried diffusion bitlines for program and erase operations. The programming and erase operations in the array are based on the well characterized standard NOR channel hot electron programming and negative gate source erase. Electron injection efficiency of the flash cell has been enhanced 161 in order to provide low current programming. AMG FLASH ARRAY The AMG flash array s c h e m h c is shown in fig.1 There are two h n d s of junctions for the diffusion lines in the flash cell area. The flash cell is programmed using channel hot electron programming a t the abrupt junction and erased with Fowler Nordheim tunneling a t the graded junction. The array is segmented with Block select BL SEL n and accomodates 128 WLs leading to the select area overhead of approximately 10%. The truth table for the array operational modes is summarized in fig.:!. The indlvidual cells are accessed by choosing the Block The select transistors are n-channel transistors with gate oxide of 200A . The integration in the array is made possible by utilizing the DPCC process 171. The select channel length tracks the flash cell poly length variations. This array architecture configures very naturally to wordhne block oriented sectorization for erase. The block selection feature offers advantages for disturb immunity, bitline capacitance reduction and sector erase, utilizing only single level metal in the array.

INTRODUCTION In recent years, the feature size h is being scaled to realize the flash memory products [I] [ 2 ] . We'have realized a new flash virtual ground architecture [3] t,o provide a scaling pa th for high density and low voltage products. The cell size (5.8h2) scaling is obtained without the aggressive metallcontact design rules of the standard NOR (10h2) or the high voltage and access speed penalty of the NAND approach (6.5h2) [4]. Alternate Metal Virlual Ground (AMG) EPROM array concept [5] has been demonstrated in production as . a viable scaling concept with a poly pitch limited cell size (4x2) and one metal line for two diffusion bitlines. The AMG flash architecture is a scalable concept where the AMG cell can be scaled to 0.7pm2 with 0.35pm design rules. The array is a segmented virtual ground array with dedicated buried diffusion bitlines for program and erase operations. The programming and erase operations in the array are based on the well characterized standard NOR channel hot electron programming and negative gate source erase. Electron injection efficiency of the flash cell has been enhanced 161 in order to provide low current programming. AMG FLASH ARRAY The AMG flash array s c h e m h c is shown in fig.1 There are two h n d s of junctions for the diffusion lines in the flash cell area. The flash cell is programmed using channel hot electron programming a t the abrupt junction and erased with Fowler Nordheim tunneling a t the graded junction. The array is segmented with Block select BL SEL n and accomodates 128 WLs leading to the select area overhead of approximately 10%.

Introduction Phase-shifting masks (PSMs) [1][2] and modified illumination techniques [3] have shown promise in improving the resolution and process latitude of lithography. For 1 Gb-DRAM application, these techniques are essential because printing 175 nm features is pushing the limits of even high numerical aperture (NA) deep-UV exposure systems, and wavelength reduction is not an alternative until the availability of 193 nm exposure systems around the turn of the century. This paper explores the application of attenuated PSM [2] and alternating PSM [l], as well as annular illumination [3] in the optimization of lithographic performance at the 175 nm groundrule. Lithographic simulation including the effects of photoresist processing [4] was used to identify optimal conditions for critical levels of a 1 Gb-DRAM cell design [5], and improvement in performance was quantified experimentally. Process Optimization To ensure reliability of the 1 Gb cell requires the control of feature edge placement to within 17.5nm (&lo%). Based on this criterion, exposure-defocus analyses [6] were performed on the viable resolution enhancement techniques, and their relative merits are quantified in terms of depth-of-focus (DOF) with 10% exposure dose variation. Simulation is performed using SPLAT [7] and an internal IBM program LEOPOLD which models the important effects of photoresist processing. Fig. 1 shows the mask and illumination techniques examined. For each critical level, the three approaches which give the largest DOF (at 10% exposure latitude) are listed in Table 1 together with the design layout. The latitude obtained with conventional chromium (COG) mask and standard illumination is also included for reference. In general, annular illumination and alternating PSM are strong candidates for grating-like levels, while attenuated PSM provides the most benefit for contact levels. It is of interest to note the use of negative resist for the active area (AA) level. Fig. 2 illustrates the improvement in image integrity with resolution enhancement techniques for the AA level. The contours represent aerial image intensity in steps of 0.1 normalized to the clear field intensity. For a COG mask with standard illumination, the intensity contours are sparse in both the width (horizontal) and length (vertical) directions, indicating poor image quality and resulting in a DOF of only 0.4 pm. For an attenuated PSM with annular illumination, the intensity contours are denser, resulting in an improved DOF of 1.2 pm. With an alternating PSM at a reduced partial coherence factor of 0.3, the intensity gradient is especially steep at the ends of the feature due to the effects of phase-shifting. This manifests as a better DOF of 1.4 pm and improved line-end shortening behavior: the length is only biased at lOOnm as opposed to 150nm on the COG and attenuated PSM. Mask imperfection limits and in some cases obliterates the benefits of PSMs. Fig. 3 shows the DOF for a 225nm bitline co
相移掩模(psm)[1][2]和改进的照明技术[3]在提高光刻的分辨率和工艺纬度方面显示出希望。对于1gb的dram应用,这些技术是必不可少的,因为打印175nm的特征甚至是高数值孔径(NA)深紫外曝光系统的极限,而波长减少是不可替代的,直到193nm曝光系统在世纪之交可用。本文探讨了衰减PSM[2]、交变PSM[1]以及环形照明[3]在175 nm地规光刻性能优化中的应用。光刻模拟包括光刻胶处理[4]的影响,用于确定1gb dram单元设计的临界水平的最佳条件[5],并通过实验量化性能的改进。为了确保1gb电池的可靠性,需要将特征边缘放置控制在17.5nm (&lo%)以内。基于这一准则,对可行的分辨率增强技术进行了暴露-离焦分析[6],并以10%暴露剂量变化时的焦距(DOF)来量化其相对优点。模拟使用SPLAT[7]和内部IBM程序LEOPOLD进行,该程序模拟光刻胶处理的重要影响。图1显示了所检查的掩模和照明技术。对于每个关键水平,给出最大DOF(10%曝光纬度)的三种方法与设计布局一起列在表1中。本文还包括了用常规铬(COG)掩模和标准照明得到的纬度,以供参考。一般来说,环形照明和交变PSM是类光栅电平的有力候选,而衰减PSM则为接触电平提供了最大的好处。值得注意的是,对有源区域(AA)电平使用负阻。图2显示了AA级分辨率增强技术对图像完整性的改善。等高线表示航空图像强度,步长为0.1,归一化到清晰场强度。对于标准照明的COG掩模,在宽度(水平)和长度(垂直)方向上的强度轮廓都是稀疏的,这表明图像质量很差,导致DOF仅为0.4 pm。对于环形照明的衰减PSM,强度轮廓更密集,从而提高了1.2 pm的DOF。当交变PSM的部分相干系数降低到0.3时,由于相移的影响,特征末端的强度梯度特别陡峭。这表现为1.4 pm的更好的DOF和改进的线端缩短行为:长度仅在lom处偏置,而不是在COG和衰减的PSM上的150nm。掩盖缺陷的限制,在某些情况下抹杀了psm的好处。图3显示了具有不同类型掩模缺陷的225nm位线接触(CB)的DOF。在理想的衰减PSM下,最佳的DOF超过2.0 pm。该自由度减小到1.4 pm,掩模临界尺寸(CD)误差为f5 nm。加上410.5%的透射率和f5”的相位变化,DOF进一步下降到0.4 pm,与具有f5 nm掩模CD误差的COG掩模几乎没有区别。因此,衰减后的PSM的传输和相位控制必须分别优于f0.5%和~ t5 ',才能在CB水平上优于COG掩模。实验结果制备了深沟槽(DT)、AA、栅极导体(GC)、位线(MO)和CB水平的偏压COG和PSM光栅。光圈在尼康深紫外步进扫描系统(a = 248nm, N = 0.6, CT = 0.6)上曝光。对于环形照明,内外半径分别对应U = 0.5和(r = 0.75)。正电阻[8]和负电阻[9]的厚度分别为0.6 pm和0.5 pm。表2总结了自顶向下扫描电子显微图(SEM)测量确定的各种水平的DOF (10% EL)。分辨率增强技术的使用提高了各个层次的过程纬度。特别令人感兴趣的是AA级,它要求使用负光刻胶。图4显示了在0.1 pm聚焦范围内,在环形照明和衰减的PSM负阻下暴露的AA图案的自上而下的sem。在图案失去完整性的焦点(-1.2 pm)和观察到弦的焦点(-0.2 pm)之间的DOF约为0.8 pm。在DRAM芯片中,同时打印阵列和外围图案是很重要的。在某些情况下,分辨率增强技术的使用提高了阵列特征的处理纬度,但降低了外围模式的完整性。

A new computationally efficient and accurate model for ferroelectric capacitors is presented. This model uses a unique algorithm to account for the history dependence of ferroelectric capacitors, and the charge-voltage relationship, Q(v is described by a set of analytical functions with few parameters that can be easily extracted from electrical measurements of test capacitors. This model has been successfully implemented into SABER. Comparisons of simulation results with measurements show an outstanding predictive ability for arbitra voltage inputs. INTRODUCTI~N The growing interests in using ferroelectric materials in integrated circuits, especially in memory applications require accurate models for ferroelectric capacitors for circuit simulation and optimization. However, the Q-V (or C-v) relationships of ferroelectric capacitors are nonlinear and have nonlocal memories [1,2], i.e., the state of a capacitor is not uniquely determined by its present position on the Q-V plane, but also depends on voltage experienced at previous times. Most of the previous circuit models either do not [3,4] or incorrectly account for the history dependence [ 5 ] . Others require detailed information of microscopic material structure and complicated numerical analysis which is difficult to implement into a circuit simulator [6]. In this work, we found that the complex behavior of a ferroelectric capacitor is similar to that of Preisach hysteresis, widely used in the area of ferromagnetics [ 2 ] . We present a computationally efficient model that incorporates all of the major properties of Preisach hysteresis and correctly accounts for the history dependence of ferroelectric capacitor. For simplicity, time dependent effects such as polarization relaxation are neglected. THE MODEL A Preisach hysteresis is a macroscopic system that can be represented as a superposition of simple hysteresis units, and each unit has a rectangular hysteresis loop [2]. In the case of a ferroelectric thin film capacitor, it can be represented as a system of parallelly connected, non-interacting units as shown in Fig. 1. The switching charge 0, and the coercive voltages a and , B for each unit can be different, Let p(a ,B) describe the coercive voltage distribution, and D,p is the direction operator such that DCpV(t) = 1(-1) if the unit with coercive voltages (a,p) is switched to the positive (negative) polarity at time t . The total charge can then be written as Q ( t ) = Aa>P)fiapJ’(t)da@‘ (1) The Preisach type model can be numerically implemented by using Eq. 1. Although this approach is straightforward, it requires the numerical evaluation of double integrals in Eq. 1, which is a time-consuming procedure. In addition, the determination of the coercive voltage distribution p(a,,B) requires differentiations of experimentally obtained data. These differentiations may strongly amplify errors or noise inherently present in any experimental data. In this work, we present a method that incorp
提出了一种新的计算效率高、精度高的铁电电容器模型。该模型采用了一种独特的算法来考虑铁电电容器的历史依赖性,并且电荷电压关系Q(v)由一组具有很少参数的解析函数描述,可以很容易地从测试电容器的电测量中提取。该模型已成功应用于SABER。仿真结果与实测结果的比较表明,对任意电压输入具有出色的预测能力。在集成电路中使用铁电材料的兴趣日益增长,特别是在存储应用中,需要精确的铁电电容器模型来进行电路仿真和优化。然而,铁电电容器的Q-V(或C-v)关系是非线性的,并且具有非局部记忆[1,2],即电容器的状态不仅取决于其在Q-V平面上的当前位置,还取决于以前时间所经历的电压。大多数以前的电路模型要么没有[3,4],要么不正确地考虑历史依赖[5]。另一些需要详细的微观材料结构信息和复杂的数值分析,难以在电路模拟器[6]中实现。在这项工作中,我们发现铁电电容器的复杂行为与广泛应用于铁磁领域的Preisach滞回相似。我们提出了一个计算效率高的模型,该模型包含了Preisach迟滞的所有主要特性,并正确地考虑了铁电电容器的历史依赖性。为简单起见,忽略了极化弛豫等时间相关效应。Preisach迟滞是一个宏观系统,可以表示为简单迟滞单元的叠加,每个单元都有一个矩形迟滞回路[2]。在铁电薄膜电容器的情况下,它可以表示为如图1所示的并联、非相互作用单元的系统。每个单元的开关电荷0和矫顽力电压a、B可以不同,设p(a,B)描述矫顽力电压分布,D,p为方向算子,当具有矫顽力电压(a,p)的单元在时间t切换到正(负)极性时,使DCpV(t) = 1(-1)。总电荷可以写成Q (t) = Aa>P)fiapJ ' (t)da@ ' (1) Preisach类型模型可以通过使用Eq. 1在数值上实现。虽然这种方法很简单,但它需要对Eq. 1中的二重积分进行数值计算,这是一个耗时的过程。此外,确定矫顽力电压分布p(a,,B)需要对实验得到的数据进行微分。这些差异可能会强烈放大任何实验数据中固有的误差或噪声。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种方法,结合了Preisach滞后的特殊性质,同时完全绕过了上述困难。Preisach类型模型的详细研究和这些性质的严格证明可以在[2]中找到。为清楚起见,在下面的讨论中省略了对净电荷的线性贡献。它可以很容易地包括以后通过添加一个线性电容器C1与铁电元件并联。A.饱和曲线-预紧磁滞和铁电磁滞的一个重要特性是定义良好的饱和回路。无论电容器以前的历史如何,QV点必须始终位于饱和回路上或在饱和回路内;在任意给定的Q-V点上,dQ/dV的大小必须不大于同一V点上相同方向的饱和曲线的大小。设F (V)和F & (V)分别表示饱和回路的上升支路和下降支路。只要符合实验回路,它们可以采用任何功能形式。这里选择双曲正切,因为它简单,具有正确的物理性质,并且对大多数铁电薄膜电容器提供了合理的适用性,即,其中Qs为铁电开关的最大电荷贡献,Vc+, (Vc)为上升曲线(下降曲线)的转换电压,参数a描述了双曲正切接近Q,s的速度(见图2)。B.记忆形成-通过跟踪Q- v平面上以前的转折点,“记住”电容器的以前的历史。转折点是Q-V曲线改变方向或dV/dt改变符号的地方(见图3)。用+(-)符号来区分V (t)是局部最大值(最小值)的点。虽然Preisach迟滞具有非局部记忆,但并非所有先前的历史都需要被“记住”。 例如,由于饱和回路定义良好,如果在电容器上施加一个大电压,使其Q-V点在饱和曲线上,其未来的行为不再取决于其过去的历史。更具体地说,只有主导输入电压极值的交变序列是重要的(见图4)。表1显示了存储器中的转折点如何不断被清除和更新的一些示例。由于这种内存清除特性,需要存储的点的数量通常不会随时间连续增长。默认情况下,饱和回路的终点(m,QLy)和(-m,-Q&),分别用S和-S表示,始终是存储在内存中的前两个转折点,永远不会被清除。C.饱和环路内-一旦Q-V点在饱和环路内,随着电压的升高(降低),QV曲线总是经过存储在内存中的先前的+(-)转折点(见图5)。连接任意两个相邻转折点(vi, q,)和(~ ~ + ~,q)的q - v曲线;+ ~),用f I ?(V)或f, J (V)由m和b给出,其中m和b是需要为每对转折点确定的系数,使得qi = m, f $ (V,) + b和q,+1 = mjf2 (V,+l) + b保持不变。可以证明,F 1 (VI) = qstanh [a(V, V,, I] (2) F, $ (V) = m I F $ (V + b / (3) 4;- qi + 1f1 (v, f1 (vi+, m) =总是在0和1之间。这意味着df, 1 idV I df $ idV,或饱和环路内任何一点的dQ/dV的大小总是相同v下饱和环路的一小部分。模拟结果和讨论将模型模拟与经历复杂输入电压序列的2000A SrBi,Ta,O薄膜电容器的实验数据进行比较(图6-8)。模型参数QS, Vc。+、Vr-、U和C/由饱和回路的实验测量得到。除非另有说明,否则该模型假定初始Q-V点位于饱和回路上,因此开始时内存中的唯一转折点是S和-S。对于所有情况,该模型正确地描述了SBT电容器的历史依赖性和记忆形成。预测的QV曲线与实验数据吻合较好。[14]张斌,等。集成电极技术的研究进展[j]。, 1997年出版。[2] 1。11. 迟滞的数学模型,斯普林格出版社,纽约,1991。[4] A.

This model uses a unique algorithm to account for the history dependence of ferroelectric capacitors, and the charge-voltage relationship, Q(v is described by a set of analytical functions with few parameters that can be easily extracted from electrical measurements of test capacitors. This model has been successfully implemented into SABER. Comparisons of simulation results with measurements show an outstanding predictive ability for arbitra voltage inputs. INTRODUCTI~N The growing interests in using ferroelectric materials in integrated circuits, especially in memory applications require accurate models for ferroelectric capacitors for circuit simulation and optimization. However, the Q-V (or C-v) relationships of ferroelectric capacitors are nonlinear and have nonlocal memories [1,2], i.e., the state of a capacitor is not uniquely determined by its present position on the Q-V plane, but also depends on voltage experienced at previous times. Most of the previous circuit models either do not [3,4] or incorrectly account for the history dependence [ 5 ] . Others require detailed information of microscopic material structure and complicated numerical analysis which is difficult to implement into a circuit simulator [6]. In this work, we found that the complex behavior of a ferroelectric capacitor is similar to that of Preisach hysteresis, widely used in the area of ferromagnetics [ 2 ] . We present a computationally efficient model that incorporates all of the major properties of Preisach hysteresis and correctly accounts for the history dependence of ferroelectric capacitor. For simplicity, time dependent effects such as polarization relaxation are neglected. THE MODEL A Preisach hysteresis is a macroscopic system that can be represented as a superposition of simple hysteresis units, and each unit has a rectangular hysteresis loop [2]. In the case of a ferroelectric thin film capacitor, it can be represented as a system of parallelly connected, non-interacting units as shown in Fig. 1. The switching charge 0, and the coercive voltages a and , B for each unit can be different, Let p(a ,B) describe the coercive voltage distribution, and D,p is the direction operator such that DCpV(t) = 1(-1) if the unit with coercive voltages (a,p) is switched to the positive (negative) polarity at time t . The total charge can then be written as Q ( t ) = Aa>P)fiapJ’(t)da@‘ (1) The Preisach type model can be numerically implemented by using Eq. 1. Although this approach is straightforward, it requires the numerical evaluation of double integrals in Eq. 1, which is a time-consuming procedure. In addition, the determination of the coercive voltage distribution p(a,,B) requires differentiations of experimentally obtained data. These differentiations may strongly amplify errors or noise inherently present in any experimental data. In this work, we present a method that incorp","PeriodicalId":414778,"journal":{"name":"1997 Symposium on VLSI Technology","volume":"52 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131322169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
