The impact of bias temperature instability for direct-tunneling ultra-thin gate oxide on MOSFET scaling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new reliability scaling scenario for CMOS devices with direct-tunneling ultra-thin gate oxide, and show that the threshold voltage change caused by bias-temperature instability (BTI) limits the device lifetime.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
NBTI enhancement by nitrogen incorporation into ultrathin gate oxide for 0.10-/spl mu/m gate CMOS generation
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of device reliability due to Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) of PMOSFETs with ultrathin gate oxide was investigated and it was experimentally demonstrated that the chemical reactions at the gate oxide/substrate interface and/or diffusion of hydrogen related species are the major cause of the NBTI.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
New analysis methods for comprehensive understanding of Random Telegraph Noise
TL;DR: Bias dependence of statistically extracted average trap number is discussed, with emphasis on the importance of undetectable traps on product reliability.
Proceedings Article
Single-charge-based modeling of transistor characteristics fluctuations based on statistical measurement of RTN amplitude
TL;DR: In this article, a single charge-based random fluctuation model suited for analyzing both random telegraph noise (RTN) and intrinsic channel transistors (UTB-SOI, FinFET etc) is proposed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a new accelerated testing scheme for detecting SRAM bit failure caused by random telegraph noise (RTN) is proposed, which can accurately predict product reliability against RTN.
