Journal ArticleDOI
ESD reliability and protection schemes in SOI CMOS output buffers
TL;DR: In this article, a new Through Oxide Buffer ESD protection scheme is proposed as an alternative for SOI electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, which can be fabricated on the SOI substrate instead of the top silicon thin film, after selectively etching through the buried oxide.

Devices with high-k gate dielectric
Chih-Hao Wang,Chenming Hu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a gate electrode is formed including a gate conductor overlying a high dielectric constant (k) gate dielectrics, and a small or round substrate recess of controlled depth is formed around the gate electrode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials and scaling effects on on-chip interconnect reliability
TL;DR: In this article, scaling effects on Cu microstructure, resistivity, dielectric materials, and electromigration (EM) and time dependent TDDB reliabilities for Cu interconnects were reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
AC effects in IC reliability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the AC effects in hot-electron effect, electromigration, and gate oxide breakdown and stability and showed that AC effects become important to setting realistic reliability acceptance criteria and predicting circuit reliability as technology scaling gradually erodes the margin of safety.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
SOI MOSFET thermal conductance and its geometry dependence
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal dissipation paths in SOI MOSFETs are investigated via experiments and modeling, and it is shown that the temperature increase due to self-heating is quite small.
