1 An Array-Based Test Circuit it for Fully Automated Gate Dielectric Breakdown Characterization John Keane, Shrinivas Venkatraman, Paulo Butzen*, and Chris H. Kim *State University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 1
2 Outline of Presentation Introduction to Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB) Proposed TDDB Test Array Circuit Test Chip Calibration Breakdown Measurement Results Conclusions 2
3 Introduction to TDDB Traps generated under the influence of electric field Traps overlap Conductive path between gate and substrate Gate dielectric no longer a reliable insulator Parametric or functional failure 3
4 Progressive Dielectric Breakdown Ultra-thin dielectrics can experience soft breakdown without failing Focus shifts to monitoring current after 1st breakdown Designers & reliability engineers must settle on reliability metrics for circuits with different sensitivities A. Kerber, et al., IRPS, 2007 J. Stathis, CICT,
5 TDDB Impact on Digital Circuits Decreased performance & reliability, increased leakage, or outright failure Reduced O/P swing in digital logic can be restored in subsequent stages, but speed suffers SRAM SNM is degraded as a function of BD location R. Rodriguez, et al., IEDL, 2003 R. Rodriguez, et al., IEDL,
6 Statistical Characterization of TDDB Slope = β BD BD BD BD Breakdown related to generation of traps Deterministic : trap generation rate Statistical ti ti : critical trap density required for breakdown Failure statistics follow Weibull Distribution 1000s of sampled needed to characterize distribution E. Wu, et al., IBM J. of R & D,
7 TDDB Lifetime Prediction Classical Reliability Approach Extrapolate stress results with respect to: Operating Conditions based on acceleration models Larger Chip Areas based on Poisson area scaling Lower Percentiles based on Weibull distribution Today consider unique environmental variables 1st failure may not lead to chip failure, etc... G. Groeseneken, et al., IPFA
8 Prior TDDB Measurement Methods Individual device probing with expensive wafer probes; continuously monitor I GATE or V GATE of a single Device Under Test (DUT) per stress experiment. Karl proposed p a method to monitor the increase in gate leakage of a pair of DUTs whose gate voltage controls the frequency of a Schmitt Trigger Oscillator (ISSCC, 2008) 8
9 Proposed TDDB Measurement System FSM Row Periphe erals row<0:31 > Bitline COMPLETE E SCANOUT 32x32 array of stressed NMOS transistors Gate currents (I G ) measured with A/D current monitor and on-chip control logic 16b results scanned out and stored for post-processing Efficient collection of failure statistics by running a simple control program 9

17 TDDB Area Scaling TBD at 63 3% (a.u.) BD Select smallest T BD from cluster of adjacent DUTs Measured results match well with the weakest-link theory Helps justify the use of Weibull statistics Can be used to determine β with fewer experiments Do stress experiments on DUTs with large area ratio Low sensitivity to statistical variation 17
18 Measured T BD Spatial Distribution ln(-ln(1- -F)) T BD or T FAIL (sec) Array format facilitates study of any spatial correlation 4 diagrams correspond to 4 divisions of the CDF, each representing 25% of the cells in a 20x20 array. No spatial correlation was detected 18
19 Conclusions Implemented a 32x32 array of TDDB test cells for efficient characterization of T BD statistics Stress cell design presented to avoid aging in supporting circuitry 16b result easily stored in spreadsheet for processing Reduces test time by a factor proportional p to # of DUTs Design is capable of tracking R GATE progression with 1.4% error up to the onset hard breakdown Measurement results from a number of stress conditions demonstrate circuit flexibility 19
