    摘要: Plasma induced degradation of thin gate dielectric layers, e.g., silicon dioxide layers of less than 50 .ANG., is assessed by impressing a constant current density across the gate dielectric layer and measuring the resulting stress induced leakage current as a function of time. The sensitivity of the stress induced leakage current to traps generated in a thin gate dielectric layer enables the use of stress induced leakage current measurements to monitor plasma induced damage during various phases of semiconductor manufacturing.

    摘要: A method of forming low dielectric insulation between pairs of conductive lines separated by insulating material of a level of interconnection for integrated circuits by selectively removing portions of the insulating material to create spaces for containing a gas with a dielectric constant of slightly above 1. Preferably, the insulating material is a conformal source of silicon oxide, such as tetraethylorthosilicate. The resultant method forms an insulation separating the conductive lines whose composite dielectric constant with the gas in the spaces between the insulating material is not greater than about 3 over a predetermined distance. An integrated circuit having a plurality of semiconductor devices being interconnected by conductive lines separated by insulating material and spaces containing a gas, composite dielectric constant of which is not greater than about 3 over a predetermined distance.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and program product utilize an analytical reservoir simulator to perform inflow simulation for a node during nodal analysis in a multi-well petroleum production system. By doing so, time-lapse nodal analysis may be performed of a transient production system in a multi-well context, often taking into account production history and the transient behavior of a reservoir system. Moreover, in some instances, an interference effect from different wells in a multi-well production system may be considered, and in some instances nodal analysis may be performed simultaneously for multiple wells. Multi-layer nodal analysis may also be performed in some instances to account for the pressure loss in a wellbore between multiple layers.

    摘要: A test system and methodology to improve the performance and reliability of critical paths including stacked NAND gates with sub-minimum channel transistors employs one or more inverter based ring oscillators to generate reliability data. The reliability data is used to calibrate an aged transistor model, which describes the hot carrier reliability of sub-minimum channel length transistors. A computer simulation uses the calibrated, aged transistor model to simulate the critical path circuitry including the stacked NAND gates.
