摘要:
Methods and systems are provided for characterizing the negative temperature bias instability of a transistor. A bias voltage is maintained at a drain terminal of the transistor during a test period. A stress voltage is maintained at a gate terminal of the transistor during the test period, such that the stress voltage is applied concurrently with the bias voltage. At least one characteristic of the transistor is measured at periodic intervals during the stress period to determine a degradation of the at least one characteristic caused by the stress voltage until a termination event occurs.
摘要:
A conductive polymer composition containing a particulate conductive filler dispersed in a polymeric component. The polymeric component comprises a first polymer which (i) is present in an amount 25 to 75% by weight of the total polymeric component, and (ii) is polyethylene, and a second polymer which (i) is present in an amount 25 to 75% by weight of the total polymeric component, and (ii) comprises units derived from a first monomer which is ethylene and a second monomer which is an alkyl acrylate having the formula --CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCOOC.sub.m H.sub.2m+1 --, where m is at least 4. The resulting composition is useful in preparing electrical devices, e.g. circuit protection devices, which have lower resistivities, higher PTC anomalies, and better thermal and electrical stability than devices comprising conventional conductive polymer compositions.

摘要:
A composition which contains 35 to 85% by weight of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene (FEP), 10 to 60% by weight of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoropropylvinyl ether (PFA), and 5 to 60% by weight of melt-processable polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The composition is particularly suitable for use as an insulating material on a substrate such as a resistive element in a conductive polymer heating cable. The composition has good physical properties, low creep, and low secondary crystallization, and exhibits little stress-cracking when exposed to elevated temperatures.

Apparatus are provided for fatigue testing ferroelectric material in a wafer, including an on-chip oscillator to provide a bipolar waveform to a ferroelectric capacitor formed in the wafer, as well as a switching system to selectively provide external access to the ferroelectric capacitor. Test methods are also disclosed provided, including measuring a performance characteristic of a ferroelectric capacitor in the wafer, providing a bipolar waveform to the ferroelectric capacitor for a number of cycles using an on-chip oscillator, and again measuring the performance characteristic after an integer number of cycles of the bipolar waveform.

摘要:
According to one embodiment, a method for isolating degradation mechanisms in transistors includes providing a ring oscillator having a plurality of delay elements. Each delay element operates as a delay element through the use of one or more transistors of only a first type and no transistors of the opposite type. The method further includes operating the ring oscillator and measuring the frequency resulting from the ring oscillator over time. The magnitude of an isolated degradation mechanism is determined based on a comparison of the measured frequency and an expected frequency for the ring oscillator absent degradation.
