本論文主要在探討低壓(LV)金氧半場效電晶體(MOSFET)元件在不同操作區域中退化之物理機制以及其退化後之生命週期。
首先,描述研究動機,並介紹前人之研究成果與實驗,將藉由短時間量測推斷出長時間退化曲線,以及元件生命週期之公式推導,並加以應用在不同元件上,並延伸研究,以符合所使用之元件之生命週期。本論文會介紹元件退化機制、熱載子效應等影響元件可靠度之議題,亦會介紹所引用的生命週期預測之基本論述,並搭配分析元件特性之電腦輔助設計(TCAD)模擬軟體。
簡介後,將會介紹所採用元件結構以及其基本特性,並介紹本研究之實驗設置,包括 On State、Off State 到 Subthreshold之電壓設置及量測方法介紹。
本研究的內容,主要想探討實驗之元件在On state、Off state和 Subthreshold三區之退化,並且搭配電腦輔助設計(TCAD)模擬軟體來推測可能之物理機制。
而進一步探究是否可以藉由短時間之量測,推算出長時間之退化曲線。並且配合造成元件退化之原因,推測出可能造成退化之公式,進一步寫成生命週期之公式。並且配合元件特性,以及長時間之退化曲線,進一步修改成吻合所採用元件之真實的生命周期,也加以證實了退化曲線平移後所獲得的長時間退化曲線可以和生命週期之估算吻合。另外也得平移退化曲線之方法僅適用於到同樣的退化物理機制。
In the thesis, the low voltage MOSFET degradation mechanism and lifetime prediction in different operation region had been investigated.
First of all, in motivation, the previous work in earlier research had been introduced. In previous work, the long term degradation trend obtained from short time measuring, and derived lifetime equation had been public. Hence, in this work, the concept was used in practice to derived the lifetime equation in another device and found that if the equation fit with actual lifetime in our device. Also the degradation mechanism and the reliability issues like hot carrier injection, impact ionization, gate induced drain leakage will also be introduced. Moreover, TCAD simulation will also be introduced and assisted us to diagnosed the mechanism.
In chapter two, the structure and characteristic of our device will introduced, after that, the experiment setup in on state, subthreshold and off state will also introduced.
According to the degradation mechanism we analyzed, the parameter of lifetime equation can be curtained, thus through the basic method and some modification, the lifetime equation of our device could be obtained.
