41 Threshold Voltage Shifts Explained on Atomic Level with DFT Dev Ettisserry & Neil Goldsman
42 19 Investigate Role of Defects in EMI Ideal Oxide Oxide with Defect
43 20 Effect of Defects on MOSFETs; High Voltage Bias Changes Threshold Voltage (Vt) Positive shift in Vth following HT positive bias stress due to electron trapping. Negative shift in Vth following HT negative bias stress due to hole trapping. The degradation worsens over time! This work focuses on NBTS degradation potentially due to OV hole traps * Measurements by our collaborators at U.S. Army Research Lab, Adelphi, MD. OV = Oxygen Vacancy
44 Density Functional Theory: Use to Analyze Schrodinger wave equation that accounts for all the electrons and nuclei in the system and their interactions. The kinetic and potential energies are altered by quantum effects like Pauli s exclusion not quantifiable. DFT provides a tractable accurate solution for the ground state eigenvalues (energy) and electron density. Replaces the complicated interacting system Hamiltonian by a sum of noninteracting Hamiltonians. Uses electron density (one function in space) as the fundamental property instead of ψ tot = J I J I J I I I I j i j i I i I i I i i e R R e Z Z M r r e R r e Z m H , ˆ Total wavefunction 21
45 DFT Shows Oxygen vacancy (OV) defects give rise to charge trapping centers Structural and electronic properties of OVs in MOS oxide regions were studied. Structures of OV in oxide regions: (1) Basic Low-energy Dimer, (2) High-energy forward-projected (fp), (3) High-energy back-projected (bp) Upon hole capture, basic dimer spontaneously forms positive fp. fp thermally transforms to bp. Also, fp and bp are stable when neutral. 22
46 Transient modeling of OV hole trap activation under NBTS (contd..) The time-dependent total concentration of activated hole traps (positive charges) is translated to voltage shift in negative direction. ΔVV tt = qq NN 6 ii=2 CC Experimental xx ii (tt) Simulated NBTS OV hole trap activation is a serious contributor to HTGB reliability degradation in 4H-SiC MOSFETs (from integrated modeling using DFT and rate equations).
