    摘要: A method for recovery of degradation caused by avalanche hot carriers is provided that includes subjecting an idle bipolar transistor exhibiting avalanche degradation to a thermal anneal step which increases temperature of the transistor thereby recovering the avalanche degradation of the bipolar transistor. In one embodiment, the annealing source is a self-heating structure that is a Si-containing resistor that is located side by side with an emitter of the bipolar transistor. During the recovering step, the bipolar transistor including the self-heating structure is placed in the idle mode (i.e., without bias) and a current from a separate circuit is flown through the self-heating structure. In another embodiment of the present, the annealing step is a result of providing a high forward current (around the peak fT current or greater) to the bipolar transistor while operating below the avalanche condition (V″CB of less than 1 V). Under the above conditions, about 40% or greater of the degradation can be recovered. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the thermal annealing step may include a rapid thermal anneal (RTA), a furnace anneal, a laser anneal or a spike anneal.

    摘要: A process for in-line testing of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device for negative bias thermal instability (NBTI), which degrades the gate oxide of the MOSFET device. The process generally comprises four steps. First, a hole injection method is selected that produces approximately the same gate oxide degradation as the NBTI under test. Second, a correlation is established between the NBTI degradation and device shifts due to the selected hole injection degradation method. Third, an in-line procedure is developed based on the hole injection method, using the second step to relate the measured shift to NBTI. Finally, a NBTI specification is defined based on the hole injection method using the second step. The MOSFET device is preferably a p-type MOSFET device and the hole injection method is preferably a channel hot-carrier stress method.

    摘要: A MOSFET test structure and associated electronics for rapidly heating the MOSFET gate oxide and for applying a stress voltage to the gate. The structure has at least one polysilicon gate with two spaced contacts that permit a heating current to flow through the gate thus rapidly raising the gate temperature to a desired level. External electronics permit applying a measured stress voltage to the gate. The structure is particularly useful in NBTI testing of p-MOSFETs.
