Abstract:
A device and method to control the heating of an IC chip in a wafer form for measuring various parameters associated therewith are provided. Embodiments include a device having a silicon layer with an upper surface, and on a plastic carrier; a plurality of devices in the silicon layer and electrically coupled through the upper surface to a test control system; a through silicon via (TSV) extending into the silicon layer; and a parallel heating structure adjacent to the plurality of devices electrically coupled to the test control system.
Abstract:
At least one method, apparatus and system are provided for forming a hybrid oxide layer for providing for a first region of a finFET device to operate at a first voltage and a second region of the finFET to operate at a second voltage. A first set of fins are formed on an I/O device portion, and a second set of fins are formed on a core device portion of a substrate. A first and a second oxide layers are deposited on the first and second set of fins, wherein they merge to form a hybrid oxide layer. The thickness of the second oxide layer is based on a first operating voltage for the I/O device portion. The hybrid layer is removed from the core device portion such that the I/O device portion operates at the first voltage and the core device portion operates at a second voltage.
