2 Two years ago in this workshop.
3 3 Our normalized data shown last year Ln(-Ln(-F)) % 5% -4-5 % -6-7.% Assume power system with % failure probability in years Each system has multiple chips making each chip s failure probability even lower The extrinsic part of the failure distribution is what really counts. 3 TBD
4 Thick oxide data in the silicon world had similar problem. Ogier, J. L. et al., Solid State Dev. Res. Conf., ESSDERC '95. pp 99-3 > Effective thinning model does not work. > Analysis should be done with joint distributions. 4
5 LN(-LN(-F)) % % T 63 : 5s, β: LN(-LN(-F)) Typical extrinsic β value is < Failure rate decreases with time. Screening possible but not guaranteed. Effective thinning tends to have successful screening T 63 : 5s, β: 5-5 Stress Time [s] 4% extrinsic case If extrinsic β value > Failure rate increases with time. Screening impossible. Direct analysis leads to large intrinsic characteristic time underestimation... The extrinsic distribution with low beta determines failure. Failure fraction scaling: LN(-LN(-F)) % 5% ~6s ~9s LN(-LN(-F)) Active area scaling: Stress Time [s] 5

7 The literature is full of reports on the effect of contamination on oxide breakdown Yamabe, K. & Taniguchi, K., IEEE Trans. Electron Dev., 3(), 43 48(985). Uchida, H. et al. IEDM '9. pp Verhaverbeke, S. et al., IEDM '9. pp Vermeire, B. et al., IEEE Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conf. pp Yamabe, K. & Taniguchi, K., IEEE J. Solid-State Circuits (), (3). Gui, D et al. Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits, IPFA 8. pp - 4 Contamination tends to weaken the oxide substantially not a subtle effect lead to the idea of effective (localized) thinning model Lee, J., I. C. Chen, et al. Symposium on VLSI Technology 986 Since it does not work, we need a new model that can point the direction to improvement. - One that can explain why further improvement of cleaning does not work. 7
8 The lucky defect model for early breakdown failure Differentiate from contamination related extrinsic failures 8
9 Lucky Defect Model High-Field Stress High-Field Stress with lucky defect Current increases locally!!! Most oxide breakdown models are current driven. 9
10 How to quantify this? What kind of defect distribution can lead to the observed TDDB extrinsic tail?
11 Trap Assisted Tunneling is defined by the joint probability of : Tunneling into the defect (T ) Tunneling out from the defect (T )... Maximum when probabilities T and T are equal. when defect is at xx EE oooo = WW EE oooo Independently of the barrier height!! Important condition: Defect energy matches the electrons in the inversion layer.
12 TAT leads to higher current locally Evaluating the impact on lifetime must account for this. Area scaling: T BD = T BD A A /β + The weakest link model Net result: TT BBBB = TT BBBB JJ FFFF JJ FFFF + JJ TTTTTT AA AA DDDD /ββ = TT BBBB ηη AA AA DDDD /ββ Area (size) of the defect
13 AA DDDD? Cannot be a point with no dimension because of quantum confinement effect. If it was a point, there can be no energy level in it! For our model : nm². Physically reasonable Impacts very little the model results. 3

25 Silicon data for thicker oxide are influenced by extrinsic failures... LN(-LN(-F)) % 5% ~6s ~9s LN(-LN(-F)) In mid to late 9s, most companies figure out how to grow gate oxide with negligible extrinsic failures. However, by then there are very few studies of thick oxide grown using the new technology Stress Time [s] 5
26 Measured lifetime exhibits a steep field dependent activation energy (Not previously observed in SiC) 6

31 One potential source is extrinsic failure distribution that depends on stress condition. Oussalah et al. TED-54, 73(7) 3
32 Besides difference in extrinsic failures Part of it is due to sub-band energy different.
