摘要:
Measurement method and test structures for measuring interconnect coupling capacitance in an IC chip are provided. This method employs CBCM technique. In the first step, two test structures are used to measure a target configuration in order to obtain the total capacitance C of a metal line with respect to ground including line-to-line, fringe and area components (C=2Cc+2Cf+Ca). In the second step, two other test structures are used to measure a dummy configuration in order to obtain the area and fringe capacitance Cdummy of the metal line with respect to ground including fringe and area components (Cdummy=2Cf+Ca). After the two steps, the coupling capacitance Cc between the metal line and another line can be determined according to the formula Cc=(C−Cdummy)/2.

A high-efficiency single-to-differential amplifier has a first transistor acting as a first amplification stage. A second transistor, a third transistor, a first choke, a second choke, and a first capacitor form a second single-to-differential amplification stage. The first amplification stage receives and amplifies an input signal, outputs the amplified signal to the second single-to-differential amplification stage through a coupling module, and concurrently provides DC bias current to the second single-to-differential amplification stage through a tank. The second single-to-differential amplification stage reuses DC current of the first amplification stage, amplifies the output signal of the first amplification stage, and transfers it to a differential output.

A method is used to fully extract coupling coefficients of a flash memory cell by a GIDL manner. The flash memory cell is composed of a substrate, a drain region, source region, a control gate and a floating gate. The method keeps the source voltage Vs and the substrate voltage Vb fixed. The drain voltage Vd and the control gate voltage are varied. Then, measuring a GIDL current obtains a first coefficient ratio of the drain coupling coefficient ad to the gate coupling &agr;cg, that is, &agr;d/&agr;cg. Similarly, keeping the drain voltage Vd and the substrate voltage Vb fixed and varying the source voltage Vs and the control gate voltage Vcg, a second coefficient ratio of the source coupling coefficient &agr;s to the gate coupling coefficient &agr;cg, that is, &agr;s/&agr;cg. Similarly, keeping the drain voltage Vd and the source voltage Vs fixed and varying the control gate voltage Vcg and the substrate voltage Vb, a third coefficient ratio of the substrate coupling coefficient &agr;b to the gate coupling coefficient &agr;cg, that is, &agr;b/&agr;cg. The first coefficient ratio &agr;d/&agr;cg, the second coefficient ratio &agr;s/&agr;cg, and the third coefficient ratio &agr;b/&agr;cg incorporate a normalization equation of &agr;d+&agr;s+&agr;b+&agr;cg=1, so that all four coefficients &agr;d, &agr;s, &agr;b, and &agr;cg can be exactly solved.
